Losing someone is hard enough.

Let us handle the paperwork with care, clarity,

and compassion - so you don’t have to face it alone.

Where do you start?

Losing a loved one is difficult enough dealing with the legal complexities that follow shouldn’t add to your stress. Our Probate Service takes care of everything, from the heavy paperwork to the complex legal requirements, allowing you to focus on what truly matters: coming to terms with your loss.

The Stress of Probate

Administering an estate can be a long, complicated, and overwhelming process. From paying Inheritance Tax upfront, to applying for the Grant of Probate, to distributing the estate’s assets—it’s a job that can take months and countless hours of your time.

The executor is responsible for the estate until it is fully executed. It’s a huge burden. That’s why it’s wise to have an expert by your side to either guide you through the process or take on the responsibility entirely, ensuring everything is done legally and correctly.

What’s Involved in Probate?

If you’re the appointed Executor, here’s what’s on your plate:

  1. Valuation of Assets: You’ll need to assess everything, from properties and financial accounts to vehicles and personal possessions.
  2. Inheritance Tax: You’ll have to determine whether the estate is liable for Inheritance Tax, calculate the amount owed, and pay it upfront to HMRC—this can be up to 40% of the estate’s value.
  3. Grant of Probate: Without the Grant, you can’t sell property or distribute assets. The application can take 3-4 months if everything goes smoothly (but that’s rare).
  4. Settling Debts: You’ll need to settle any outstanding debts and ensure the estate is divided fairly among the beneficiaries.
  5. Legal Responsibility: As Executor, you’re legally liable for the next 21 years. That’s a long time to be responsible for getting everything right.
