Death of a loved one

Losing a loved one can be an incredibly difficult experience. Yet the time will come to sort their affairs, including dealing with their death, their Will or probate. Whether you are the appointed executor of the Will, a friend, or a family member, receiving or giving advice, one of our experienced, expert solicitors will help you retain clarity and control throughout the process.

Your dedicated solicitor will act as your right hand, helping to ensure that assets are distributed correctly, sorting Inheritance Tax liabilities, and any debts of the estate. Our expert Probate solicitors can obtain probate, or advise you on doing it yourself. They can also support you with any administration to do with the death of your loved one or their Will.

Your expert legal guides

Our team deals with urgent matters such as securing property after a death and protecting assets that need to be kept safe. We can deal with third parties on your behalf such as banks, pension companies, tax authorities, the local council, and so on. If, as part of the probate, you need assistance with the sale or transfer of property, land, or other assets, our team can look after that too, including handling matters related to their death and their Will.

You can also use us to help with more involved matters, such as completing the Inheritance Tax return, dealing with tax in the administration period, and the preparation of Estate Accounts.
