Probate FAQs
What is probate?
Probate is the legal process of confirming who has authority to deal with someone’s estate after they die. It usually means applying for a grant of probate, or letters of administration if there is no will. We handle that application for you.
Do I have to use a solicitor for probate?
No, but many people are glad they did. Estate administration can be time-consuming and stressful, with real legal and tax responsibilities. We can handle everything, or just the parts you would rather not deal with.
How long does probate take?
It varies with the estate. A straightforward estate might take a few months; a complex one longer. We give you a realistic timescale early on and keep you updated so you are never left wondering.
What will it cost?
That depends on how much you would like us to do. We offer a fixed-fee grant-only service and full estate administration, and we always agree the basis of our fees with you before we start.
Wondering about inheritance tax?
Many estates pay none at all. We work out quickly whether any is due, explain it in plain English, and deal with HMRC and the forms for you, so nothing is missed.
