    This work covers straightforward probate and estate administration for a simple estate, including identifying and collecting assets, paying debts and taxes, and obtaining a grant of probate or letters of administration, then distributing assets according to a will or the rules of intestacy. A solicitor handles the practical steps: drafting and submitting forms, coordinating with banks and lenders, securing valuations, and dealing with the executors or personal representatives to ensure the estate is wound up properly.

    “A thorough and professional service. The solicitor understood exactly what was needed and prepared a clear Deed of Variation that could be acted on by the executors. It took longer than the estimated 10 days, largely due to the unavoidable delays due to the long use of the paper post system.”
