How we can help you

Writing your Will

We take time to understand your wishes and draft a clear, legally sound Will that is tailored to you.

Powers of Attorney

We help you appoint people you trust to make decisions on your behalf, should you ever be unable to.

Grants of Probate

We obtain Grants of Probate, or Letters of Administration where there is no Will, on your behalf.

Estate administration

We manage the full administration of the estate with sensitivity, discretion and clear, practical advice.

Obtaining a Grant usually takes around 3 months. Administering an estate from start to finish typically takes 6 to 12 months.

£157.50 Probate Court fee

Trustee Act notices in the London Gazette and local paper, to help protect against unexpected claims from creditors

Potential additional costs: if there is no Will, or the estate includes shareholdings, additional costs may apply and can vary significantly. Dealing with the sale or transfer of any property is not included above. We will give you a more accurate quote once we understand your circumstances.

FAQs

Your questions answered

Why do I need a Will?

A Will makes sure your estate passes to the people you choose, can reduce inheritance tax and avoids the uncertainty of the intestacy rules. Without one, the law decides who inherits, which may not reflect your wishes.

What is probate?

Probate is the legal process of dealing with the estate of someone who has died. It usually involves obtaining a Grant of Probate, collecting in the assets, paying any debts and tax, and distributing what remains to the beneficiaries.

How long does probate take?

Obtaining a Grant of Probate usually takes around three months. Administering an estate from start to finish typically takes between six and twelve months, depending on the complexity of the estate and the assets involved.

What is a Lasting Power of Attorney?

A Lasting Power of Attorney lets you appoint people you trust to make decisions about your finances or your health and welfare if you are ever unable to make them yourself.

Do you offer home visits?

Yes. For elderly or infirm clients across the Fylde Coast and Lancashire who cannot attend our Fleetwood or Cleveleys offices, we are happy to arrange a home visit at a convenient time.
