Legal assistance for intestacy and probate disputes
If a loved one passes without a will, the estate will be distributed according to intestacy rules. We help guide you through the legal complexities of intestacy, ensuring a fair distribution of assets.
Plus, if any disputes arise regarding the estate or executors, our team can provide expert advice and representation to resolve matters quickly and efficiently, avoiding delays.
Fixed-fee services for clarity and peace of mind
We believe in offering fixed fees rather than hourly rates to ensure transparency and avoid unexpected costs. Our probate services are designed to be efficient, typically completing within six months, but we will notify you of any changes to this timeline.
In addition to our fixed fees, there may be disbursements for necessary services, including a £273 court fee for the Grant of Probate, £1.50 for each additional copy, and property valuations that range from £350 to £1,500 plus VAT.
