Probate

Having established the proof required to confirm that a will is the last valid will of a person who has died, a grant of probate document is issued to confirm that proof. Where there is no will, the equivalent document is a grant of letters of administration. We are experienced in dealing with such matters and the complexities that can arise, including inheritance tax advice.

We help executors, administrators, representatives and trustees with their responsibilities and advise on the various matters of law and best practice to ensure that the process is completed as quickly and as smoothly as possible.

If a disappointed family member chooses to challenge a will or the actions of personal representatives or the executor, or there is doubt over the correct interpretation of a will, we are experienced in making and defending such challenges.
