This area covers proving a deceased person’s will so the executor can access the estate and carry out the instructions in the will. A solicitor advises on the validity of the will, checks for proper execution, and addresses potential challenges such as lack of capacity or undue influence. They prepare or review probate applications, identify and gather the deceased’s assets, and liaise with the probate registry to obtain a grant of probate, enabling distribution under the will.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The key decision is obtaining the grant of probate, which confirms the executor’s authority to deal with assets and settle debts. A solicitor provides guidance on deadlines, potential disputes, and how misinterpretations of the will could affect distribution, while ensuring compliance with the Probate Registry rules and conduct of the administration.

Tagged solicitor Karen Woods

My family and I used Russell & Russell for the sale of our late mother’s property. Karen Woods and her team provided an excellent service. They were supportive, approachable and always responded quickly to questions and queries. The online portal was easy to use and aided the smooth running of the conveyancing. I’d have no hesitation in using their service in the future or recommending them to others.
