Probate Services and Estate Administration
A helping hand when someone dies
When someone dies, the executor named in their Will, or an administrator where there is no valid Will, is responsible for dealing with their estate. This can include valuing assets, closing bank accounts, selling property, paying taxes and debts, and applying for a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration.
​
This process, known as probate and estate administration, can be time-consuming and confusing, particularly while grieving. Our probate specialists can support you with individual stages or manage the full estate administration on your behalf.
​There are many legal, financial and practical obligations which have to be dealt with when someone dies.
