When someone dies, the paperwork can feel overwhelming at the worst possible time. We handle probate and administer the estate so you can grieve, not fight forms.
Part of our Wills & estates practice.
We apply for probate (with a will) or letters of administration (without), so you have authority to act.
We help collect and safeguard the estate's assets and deal with debts and tax.
We make sure beneficiaries receive what they're entitled to, and the estate is properly closed.
A court grant confirming a will is valid and the executor can deal with the estate. Not every estate needs it — we'll tell you if yours does.
The estate is distributed under intestacy rules, and someone applies for letters of administration. We guide the eligible person through it.
It varies with the estate's size and complexity — from a couple of months to longer. We keep it moving.
Executors have real duties and can be liable if they get it wrong — which is exactly why it's worth having a lawyer.
Book a consultation or take the free claim check — we'll tell you where you stand and what to do next.
Leave your name and number and what it's about — a lawyer will call you back. No cost, no obligation.
