FAQ
Wills & Probate – Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about your legal situation? Our FAQs provide straightforward, jargon-free answers to help you understand what to expect and how we can support you. If you don’t see your question here, please get in touch.
A Will lets you decide who inherits your property, money, and possessions, and who looks after minor children. If you do not have a Will, your estate is divided according to strict legal rules—not necessarily how you would wish. We help you plan so your loved ones are protected.
It is best to review your Will whenever your circumstances change: after marriage, divorce, having children, or acquiring new property. Regular updates ensure your wishes reflect your current life situation.
Probate is the legal process for settling someone’s estate after they die, including valuing assets, paying debts, and passing property to beneficiaries. We guide executors and families through each step, making things less overwhelming.
Yes, you may be able to dispute a Will if you believe there has been undue influence, lack of capacity, or if you were unfairly left out. We advise on grounds for challenging a Will and support you through the process.
An executor handles all estate matters—paying debts, contacting beneficiaries, and distributing assets. You do not have to use a solicitor, but legal support makes the process smoother and reduces your risk of mistakes or disputes.
The process usually takes six to twelve months, but can be faster or slower depending on the estate’s complexity. We give a realistic timeline after reviewing your case and keep you updated throughout.
Making a Will or handling probate includes solicitor fees and possible court costs. We explain all fees upfront and offer options such as fixed-price packages or payment plans for probate support.
An LPA lets you appoint someone you trust to make decisions about your finances or health if you cannot do so yourself. Many clients choose LPAs for peace of mind, especially as they get older or face health challenges.
Some simple estates can be managed without court, but most require a legal grant of probate before major assets can be sold or transferred. We advise on what is needed in your situation and help avoid unnecessary paperwork.
You might need a Court of Protection order to make decisions for them. This can be stressful, but we guide families through the process as quickly and sensitively as possible.
Simply contact us for a free, no‑obligation conversation. We listen, explain your options, and offer practical support from first steps to final resolution.
Yes. We act for executors, beneficiaries, and families in disagreements about Wills, inheritance, or estate management, aiming for fair outcomes and preserving relationships where possible.
Absolutely. Every conversation is private, respectful, and focused on helping you move forward.
