Succession and probate
Our Approach
The death of a close family member or friend is one of the most traumatic events any of us can experience. If the Will appoints you as an executor, dealing with the legal complexities of administering the estate can be daunting. The difficulties multiply when there is no Will.
Our Estates Administration Team will help guide you with sympathy and professionalism through the probate procedures. We can advise on all aspects of estate administration from the day to day administration and distribution of smaller estates to the complexities of multi-million pound estates containing family companies and overseas assets.
Expertise
Our team of nine specialist lawyers and an accountant (including members of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners) covers the whole range of probate and administration of estates. The variety of skills and experience means that we can be sure that the estate is administered expeditiously and cost effectively.
