A Professional & Personal Service

Services - For Individuals

Probate and Estate Administration

We have a long standing reputation for dealing sensitively and efficiently with the administration of estates.  

Our clients frequently thank us for our patient and understanding approach and for our willingness to give practical advice. All staff are experienced and qualified - most recently, Lauren Stone gained her professional ILEX qualification in Probate Practice, in August 2010.

We tailor our service to meet your needs and are happy to deal with all aspects of administering an estate on your behalf, or to simply give advice in respect of areas of the estate in which you require our help.

Where executors or administrators wish to establish the extent of the assets and debts of the estate themselves, for a fixed fee, we offer a service of preparing the legal paperwork that is necessary for them to obtain Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration.

We specialise in finding ways to save tax for you and your family.  Above all, our aim is to offer a truly personal service and to make the probate process as quick and painless as possible.

Please contact us for further details of how we can help you.
