Probate covers arranging the winding up of a deceased person’s estate, including applying for the Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration, collecting assets, paying debts, and distributing what remains to beneficiaries. A solicitor in this area drafts and authenticates the necessary documents, identifies the estate’s liabilities, handles inheritance tax where needed, liaises with executors and beneficiaries, and guides clients through court procedures if contested or complex. The work is shaped by the estate size, tax rules, and asset types.

“We have recently used the Mapperley branch to sort out Grant of Probate and will also be using them for conveyancing. Jasmin Marshall who dealt with the probate was very professional but lovely at the same time. She put us at ease at what was a difficult time for us, and made the whole process much less painful. From start to finish it only took 3 weeks for probate to be granted and during that time we were kept fully informed. I can’t thank Jasmin and the team enough for what they did.”

“What should have been a simple Executorship of Mrs Crefin's final Will and Testament proved to be anything but the case. There were 2 (Two) Beneficiaries, one of whom was, in my opinion, an narcissist. That is, to my mind, an individual who combines self centred attention seeking traits with an insatiable desire for wealth and possessions at anybody's expense; in this particular case the other beneficiary, his Sister my Wife. I suffered mentally and physically as a consequence of this individual for a considerable period of time and the only way to end this sorry state of affairs was to employ Solicitors to arrive at a conclusion. As an aside and as an example of his behaviour and thought process - just what kind of individual employs an Estate Agent to provide a valuation of his Mothers House the morning following her cremation, when her ashes were barely cold? There are other examples of his behaviour which necessitated the use of Solicitors as you can imagine. Using Levi Solicitors, in particular Connor King, was like a breath of fresh air. His calmness indicated to me that what I and my Wife were experiencing what not that unusual in matters of this nature. His reassurances that this needed to be brought to an early conclusion, and it was, indicated that he had sufficient experience, from previous cases, to relate to our own distress. I would highly recommend Connor who was understanding, patient and lifted, what had become an intolerable burden, from my shoulders. Myself (and my Wife) are immensely grateful to Connor and would not hesitate to recommend his services. We would also like to extend our gratitude to the other Staff, Ellyse in particular, at the Moortown Office for all their help.”
