Planning for all stages of life

Specialist probate legal advice for peace of mind
Although some people choose to administer a person’s estate without a probate solicitor or legal executive, we strongly recommend you take professional advice, as you will be personally liable if you get it wrong.
-
Expert legal guidance for all or part of the probate process
We can help you throughout the entire process of administering a person’s estate, from the initial step of registering the person’s death through the initial grant of probate and distributing their assets. Alternatively, if you only need our help for part of the probate process (such as obtaining the grant of probate), we’re happy to assist you as much as you need.
-
Capable and experienced in dealing with complex estates
We’re delighted to help clients with the administration of estates large and small, and specialise in the administration of complex estates. You can rest assured in our probate experience – we count among our team members of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP), nationally recognised as senior practitioners in probate. We are also noted in prestigious legal guides The Legal 500 and Chambers High Net Worth.

We’ll give you a clear direction on what steps to take next, so you can move forward, and our probate solicitors make the time to answer any questions you may have.
Through Willans Trust Corporation, we are also authorised to act as an executor, trustee, deputy or attorney for clients. All families have a unique dynamic and Willans can act as an impartial party appointed to follow your wishes as best as possible.
