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.

“Thank you for making a complex (to us) legal formality anything but complex! We were particularly delighted with the progress updates throughout and felt we could contact Shelagh O'Connell, Becky O'Connell or Rachael Pratt for clarification as and when we required. Much appreciated and thanks again for removing any stress from the tedious task of applying for a Grant of Probate and explaining the process in the simplest of terms and in so doing, sparing me my sanity! Thank you (again)! ”
