PLANNING AHEAD PROTECTS YOUR FAMILY AND PRESERVES YOUR WISHES.

MAKE A WILL WITH CONFIDENCE

A properly drafted will confirms who inherits, who acts as executor, and what happens to key assets, reducing uncertainty for loved ones.

Clear instructions can minimise disputes, reflect changing circumstances, and ensure children, partners and dependants are properly provided for.

NOT SURE IF YOU NEED SUPPORT?​

PRACTICAL GUIDANCE FROM FIRST STEPS THROUGH TO FINAL DISTRIBUTION.

PROBATE AND ESTATE ADMINISTRATION SUPPORT

Assistance can include valuations, probate applications, collecting assets, settling liabilities and preparing estate accounts in the correct format.

Whether acting for executors or administrators, the process is managed carefully to reduce delay and keep beneficiaries appropriately informed.

When Would a Will or Probate Service Be Beneficial?

A will is particularly beneficial where there are children, blended families, property ownership issues, or a desire to control how gifts are made.

Probate support is beneficial where estates include property, multiple accounts, business interests or inheritance tax considerations requiring careful reporting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if a person dies without a will?
If there is no valid will, the estate is distributed under the intestacy rules, which may not reflect the deceased’s wishes and can exclude intended beneficiaries.
A will may be made by an adult with the requisite testamentary capacity. It should be executed in accordance with the Wills Act 1837 requirements.
Generally, it must be in writing, signed by the testator (or at their direction) and witnessed by two independent witnesses who are present at the same time.
An executor is appointed in the will to administer the estate. Duties include collecting assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing the estate to beneficiaries.
Not always. Probate may be unnecessary for smaller estates or where assets pass by survivorship (e.g., jointly owned property). Financial institutions set their own thresholds.
Timescales vary depending on estate complexity, inheritance tax reporting, asset valuations and third‑party delays. Straightforward estates are typically faster.
An executor may apply personally, but professional support can reduce administrative burden and help avoid errors, particularly for complex estates.

Inheritance tax may arise depending on the value of the estate and available exemptions/reliefs. Reporting and payment obligations can apply before probate is granted.
