For You & Your Family
Probate & Estate Administration
There can be a great deal to organise after a death. We help you understand the practical work ahead and choose the level of support you need.
Help With The Responsibilities Of An Estate
Dealing with an estate can feel unfamiliar at an already difficult time. You may need help with one stage, such as an application for a grant, or support with the wider administration. We begin by listening to your circumstances, identifying the people involved and explaining how the work could be approached. You can then decide what help would be useful.
How We Can Help
- Understanding the steps involved in administering an estate
- Grant of probate and letters of administration applications
- Gathering information about assets and liabilities
- Estate administration and correspondence
- Estates involving property or business interests
- Support where there is no Will
Your First Conversation
Let us know your relationship to the person who has died, whether a Will has been found and the broad types of assets involved. You do not need exact balances or a complete set of documents to make an initial enquiry.
We will listen to what you need, identify the relevant service and explain the proposed next step. Before any work is agreed, the scope, likely costs and information needed should be clear.
Questions You May Have
Can you help with just part of the process?
Yes. Explain which tasks you are comfortable handling and where you would like professional support.
What if there is no Will?
Tell us that when you enquire. The initial discussion can identify the appropriate service and the information needed to consider the next steps.
What if there is a disagreement about the estate?
Mention the disagreement at the start. Our contested probate service provides a separate route for enquiries involving disputes.
