How We Can Help

We provide a full range of probate and estate administration services, including:

Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration: We advise on who should take the Grant, and assist executors in stepping down if needed. If an executor is unwell or abroad, we can guide you on appointing an attorney to administer the estate.
Estate Asset Management: We help you handle critical tasks such as closing bank accounts, selling or transferring property, and managing legal documents.
Probate Application: We manage the entire probate application process, whether it’s an online submission or a paper application. We also advise on when a full inheritance tax account is necessary, prepare the relevant documents, and handle any inheritance tax payments.
Intestacy Guidance: If there is no will, we assist the closest living relative in applying for Letters of Administration under the rules of intestacy.

We handle international estate matters, including:

Foreign Will/Grant Assistance: We help reseal foreign grants for use in the UK and ensure compliance with UK laws.
