Transfers of equity and probate transfers cover changing ownership in a property and handling the administration of someone’s estate after death. A solicitor in this area drafts and executes deeds to change who holds the title, lodges documents with HM Land Registry, and coordinates with lenders where there is a mortgage. For probate, they apply for the grant of probate or letters of administration, identify assets and debts, pay liabilities, and distribute assets to beneficiaries. Time limits and tax rules shape the process.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The specific steps include drafting a transfer deed or disposition, arranging the transfer of equity, managing re-registration of title with HM Land Registry, and obtaining consent from lenders where required. In probate matters, the solicitor collects assets, pays debts, communicates with potential creditors, completes Inheritance Tax forms, and issues the grant of probate or letters of administration to enable the estate to be settled. These matters hinge on deadlines and the proper handling of substantial assets and beneficiaries.
