If you need assistance with obtaining letters of administration or a grant of probate, or simply want advice on dealing with the probate process, our wills, trusts, and probate solicitors know that dealing with the affairs of someone who has died can be a very difficult and stressful task. Our specialist solicitors will deal with this for you, ensuring that everything is done correctly, minimising the stress placed upon you and your loved ones.
Many people are worried about “going to Probate,” which refers to obtaining legal authority to deal with the deceased person’s property and assets. This is because people are unsure of what the process is like and what is expected of them, when really it is nothing to worry about if done correctly and with expert legal representatives on hand.
Dealing with the affairs of someone who has died can be a very difficult and stressful task, particularly if you are not used to dealing with finances or do not know much about the affairs of the deceased.
When someone dies, an application is made to the court which issues a grant of probate if there is a will, or a grant of letters of administration if there is no will. This is a routine step which we will make for you, meaning that you don’t have to, and you can focus on the grieving process without any additional stress.
Before the court issues such a grant, the Inland Revenue have to be paid any inheritance tax due or be satisfied that no tax is payable. Once this is complete, the deceased’s income tax affairs have to be concluded.
Our specialist probate solicitors can offer impartial, honest, and caring advice on all aspects of Wills, Tax Planning, Care, Estates and Powers of Attorney.

The role of a deputy is similar to that of an attorney. If you are acting as an attorney, this will be because the person you are acting for specifically chose you to act and they made a document called a ‘power of attorney’ at a time when they had capacity to do so.
