After someone has died, probate is the first formal step in the legal process of managing their estate and carrying out the instructions of their will. It can be an emotional and confusing time, especially when faced with unfamiliar legal responsibilities and procedures.

To help simplify the complexities of probate in a clear and accessible format, our experienced solicitors have created a free, easy-to-follow guide available for download.

This comprehensive guide offers a helpful overview of what’s involved in obtaining a grant of probate, explains what happens if there is no will (known as intestacy), outlines how an estate is administered, and describes how our legal experts can support you throughout the process.

To receive your free copy of the probate guide, simply complete the form on this page.

If you are also facing challenges such as disagreements over a will or estate matters, our team may be able to assist with contentious probate issues. Visit our Contentious Probate page to learn more
