    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.

    Natasha Andrews Your solicitor Natasha Andrews Trainee Solicitor
    “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.”

    “Really appreciated the support and guidance from Rachel, not just able to provide honest and clear guidance but was really just able to listen when I think that was what I needed the most. My concerns were treated compassionately and with empathy whilst giving me the direction I needed to move forward and I feel that I am back in control now. Thank you, cannot recommend highly enough!”

    Charlotte Smith Your solicitor Charlotte Smith Associate-Chartered Legal Executive
    “We were at crossroads with our business - and the information given by Matthew and Duncan was invaluable to us - regarding how we move forward with plans for our retirement. Information was given to us in a straightforward way which was easy to understand and we were given lots of ideas on how to restructure things that would work for us! Highly recommended !”
