Our professional Brighton probate solicitors pride themselves on their efficient but sympathetic approach to this area of law. We know how hard the time following the death of a loved one can be, so do everything we can to make the legal side of the process run as smoothly as possible.
Advances in technology mean we are now able to offer our Wills and probate services on a national level, as the whole transaction can now be completed using telephone, email and post.
Probate is the process of transferring assets from a person who has died to their Executors. The legal process involves applying to the Courts and submitting paperwork to Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs.
Our Brighton probate lawyers will;
Assess the value of the Estate
Collect the assets of the Estate
Settle any debts owed, assuming there are sufficient funds available
Distribute finances and assets amongst the beneficiaries as set out in the Will

It is an opportunity to state who you wish to look after your children in the event of your death
