The death of a loved one can be a difficult and emotionally charged time. A Solicitor with a sound understanding of the law and legal principles that apply to Wills and Probate will be able to assist to sort out the affairs of the deceased.

We can assist Executors and Trustees perform their duties when administrating a deceased estate. We know it can be a difficult time when trying to administer a deceased estate, our aim is to help you through the process.

Our specialists in probate can advise you on:

Executor Duties
Be informed in detail about the rights and responsibilities of an executor.
Application for Probate
Probate is an Order of the Supreme Court confirming that the deceased’s Will is valid.
Administration of a Small Estate
In some circumstances, a deceased estate may be able to be administered without the need for a grant of Probate.
Intestacy
When a person dies without a Will, an application for Letters of Administration to the Supreme Court may be required.
