IHT400 and Grant of Probate

Last March 2026 I had an appt with Sydney Mitchell LLP to discuss the start of a Grant of Probate application. I met Charlotte and Kevin at this appt. Kevin took down a whole lot of notes but did not talk very much. Following this appt we were subsequently advised that an Inheritance Tax IHT400 application would also need to be submitted for father's estate. There was a lot of information about the estate, most notably the financial side. Kevin interpreted the figures and information we presented accurately and then in turn entered the figures into the IHT400 and GoP forms. Both applications were approved by HMRC well within the approval timeframes. My dealings with Kevin were straightforward. Whenever there were any questions about this whole bureaucracy process and I would telephone Kevin, he would quite elaborately explain what was happening and advise what I should do. The information was always clear to understand and easy to follow. Thank you Kevin.

Probate application

Megan Heger dealt with the probate application of my late mother-in-law. Megan went above and beyond to get this sorted extremely quickly and with no fuss whatsoever. Seamless service from start to finsih, even arranging for the original grant of probate to be hand delivered, avoiding postal delays.

Route to Citizenship

From the very beginning, Andre has been incredibly helpful, understanding and supportive. He has looked after us every step of the way, from our initial visa applications and extensions through to the ongoing support we have received over the years. We have now reached the final stages of our citizenship journey, and the support throughout has been second to none. We genuinely appreciate everything Andre and the team have done for us. We hope to work together again in the future and wish Andre and the company continued success. Thank you again for everything!
