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.

Laura Alliss
Consultant Solicitor
Works with Tracey Ledgister Forbes
“I cannot recommend Marjorie Creek and Richard Nelson LLP highly enough. Marjorie supported me through an incredibly difficult and prolonged period, and I will always be deeply grateful that I had her in my corner. Her knowledge, experience and professional judgement were invaluable, but what made such a difference was the genuine compassion, kindness and reassurance she showed throughout. During a situation that was often extremely challenging, knowing that I could turn to Marjorie for clear advice, support and guidance gave me enormous reassurance. She was always approachable, responsive and there when I needed her, acting promptly and professionally while never losing the human touch. I always felt that she genuinely cared about my situation and was committed to achieving the best possible outcome for me. It is difficult to put into words just how much her support meant during that time. Marjorie is an exceptional professional and a genuinely compassionate person, and I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone needing knowledgeable, trustworthy and supportive legal representation.”

Lea Maynard
Senior Associate & Head of French law

Works with Bethany Buendia and 1 more
“Following the death of my husband, I was faced with the issues of dealing with transferring title of our jointly held French property (a very small house) into my name only and subsequently the sale of the house. I had no knowledge of the stages involved or how to approach them. These difficulties were compounded by a very unresponsive Notaire in France. Lea came to my rescue, explained the process and various stages involved and undertook the negotiations with the Notaire. It transpired to be a long process (although I now understand that it is inevitably much longer than in the UK) but Lea chased and followed up with the Notaire, resulting in a successful transfer of title and sale. This help and advice was invaluable. Always professional but kind, understanding and empathetic. Someone on whom I could rely. With my sincere thanks to Lea and to Buckles.”

“On both occasions to our home to review our Wills, we found the representatives of BRGP to be most helpful to talk to, also explaining anything we didn't understand. Very pleasant and easy manner to put you at ease.”

“Kate was extremely helpful dealing with my late mother's estate. As the executor of the estate I needed to change a number of things, Kate guided me through the process and dealt with all my questions very quickly. I have no hesitation in recommending Kate Rutherford.”
