Probate

Probate and estate administration services solicitors


Estate administration, also known as probate, involves identifying and managing the assets and liabilities of an estate, then executing the Will based on the deceased’s wishes. If there is no Will, the estate is distributed according to intestacy rules.

Before distributing an estate, the named executors in the Will may need to apply for a grant of probate. If the deceased left no Will, the next of kin might have to apply for letters of administration.

Every estate is unique, and several factors influence how it’s handled after someone passes away. Legal fees depend on the estate’s value, the presence of a Will, any outstanding debts, and the number of beneficiaries involved.

Once we’ve reviewed the estate details, we will provide a fixed-fee quote. The price will remain the same unless circumstances or the initial information change.
