PROBATE

Having a will can be taken for granted, but it’s easy to forget that a will must be proved in court to be declared valid. It can be easy to forget this while grieving for a family member, but ignoring the probate process can result in a Will being declared void.

You can rely on our lawyers to handle your case with skill, insight and discretion. We will make sure you remain the focal point of our strategy but work hard to keep the pressure off you, as this can be a stressful process for victims who are not given adequate support.

Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs) can be complex and require specialist legal advice.
