Our Hastings probate solicitors understand how hard it can be coping with the death of a loved one. Our lawyers take a sympathetic yet practical approach to this area of law, making it their priority to handle as much of the process as possible on your behalf, so you can focus on coming to terms with your loss.
Probate involves a number of different stages, and a large amount of paperwork. Below are a few of the steps we will take in concluding the matter;
Valuing the Estate and informing banks and other institutions which hold any assets
Calculating and paying the Inheritance Tax bill
Paying any debts
Distributing the assets as dictated in the Will
As well as completing probate, our solicitors can also advise what to do in cases if intestacy (where no Will has been left) and assist with Power of Attorney.
Whatever you need our assistance with, our lawyers will handle your case with the respect it deserves. For more information you can speak to our team using the number at the bottom of the page, or complete the form to the right and we will get back to you at the first opportunity.
Wills

If you are not married or in a civil partnership you can ensure your partner will inherit
You can state who you wish to look after any children in the event of your death
With careful planning it may be possible to minimise your Inheritance Tax bill
It is your chance to decide who gets what, ensuring close friends or significant charities do not miss out
