Free confidential legal advice with one of our specialist probate solicitors

arrow Administering an estate

We can advise you on all aspects of probate and the administration of estates including executors responsibilities, tax implications and any inheritance issues.

arrow Deeds of Variation
In certain circumstances, wills can be rewritten after death to minimise tax liabilities and change beneficiaries. These are called ‘Deeds of Variation’ and can be used, for example, to transfer an inheritance to the next generation.
arrow Inheritance and Will Disputes
Sometimes wills are challenged and claims made by both family and non-family members. This often occurs in situations where there are second families. We can advise you on the validity of the will in question and on whether you have a case.
arrow Intestacy
If someone dies ‘intestate’ it means that they have died without making a will. We can advise on the intestacy rules which can be complicated and sometimes contrary to the family's wishes. It may be possible to change them by Deed of Variation.
