Probate

Probate can be a lengthy and difficult process even on the simplest of estates, undertaken at a time when the family is already experiencing stress.

Home Probate

We can assist with the process of applying for probate, assessing the estate, filling in the relevant IHT forms for HMRC, applying for the grant of probate, if required setting up any trusts required by the will and distributing the assets. We try to make the process as simple and painless for the executors as we can.

As you can probably appreciate each case is as unique as the people whose estates we are managing so probate work is undertaken on a quoted basis rather than fix fee. However, obtaining a quote is free, the quotes are itemised so you can see exactly what work will be done for your money, and you are under no obligation to accept. Once a quote is accepted that cost will not change unless there is a significant change to the work required, so there will be no nasty surprises along the way.
