    This work covers obtaining a grant of probate or letters of administration by swearing an oath and submitting the papers to the Probate Registry after someone dies. A solicitor helps gather the death certificate, the will (if any), and a schedule of assets and liabilities, prepares the oath and supporting affidavits, and lodges the application for the grant. They then help collect assets, notify banks and government bodies, pay debts and taxes, and distribute the estate according to the will or law.

    “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.”
