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.

Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor

A failed or delayed grant may expose executors to personal liability for debts and missed deadlines. A solicitor provides professional accountability, manages client money through a protected client account, and ensures compliance with regulatory requirements, including probate procedure and duties under the Administration of Estates.
