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.
The key moment is securing the grant and ensuring timely, correct distribution of assets, which involves complying with deadlines, identifying beneficiaries, and addressing any tax liabilities. A solicitor provides regulated handling, client account safeguards, and clear reporting to executors and beneficiaries to protect the client’s position.
