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.
