✍️ Could one small probate mistake delay an estate by weeks? ✍️

Unfortunately, yes.

A missing signature, unclear executor details, missing paperwork or a problem with the Will can cause a probate application to be stopped, delaying the Grant and adding extra stress for families at an already difficult time.

In our latest blog, Sarah Begley, one of our talented Wills & Probate Executives, explains:

✅ Why probate applications are delayed
✅ The common mistakes that can hold things up
✅ Why original documents and executor details matter
✅ How professional probate support can help avoid unnecessary delays

Careful preparation at the start can make all the difference.

Could an EPC rating derail your next commercial property transaction?

MEES, or Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards, may not always be the first issue raised at the start of a deal, but if missed, it can quickly affect the progress of a commercial property matter.

In our latest blog, Khalid Mughal explains why EPC ratings, MEES requirements and exemptions are now important due diligence points in commercial conveyancing.

The article looks at how MEES can affect sales, purchases, refinancing, lease drafting, lender reporting and transaction timescales.

After nearly 27 wonderful years, we are saying a very fond farewell to Jenni Irwin as she retires from Martin Tolhurst Solicitors. 💙

Jenni joined the firm on the 13th October 1999 and has been a hugely valued, respected and much-loved member of our team ever since.

Over the years, Jenni worked across several of our offices, including Strood, Chatham, Gravesend and Longfield. As the firm’s archivist, she played such an important role in looking after deeds, wills and important legal documents and her knowledge of our records was truly second to none.

Colleagues across the firm knew they could always rely on Jenni’s expertise, dedication and calm, cheerful support. Even on her final day, she was making sure everything was completed properly and up to date, which says so much about the care and professionalism she brought to her role every day.

Jenni leaves with our sincere gratitude and very best wishes from everyone at Martin Tolhurst Solicitors.

We wish her a long, happy and healthy retirement and hope this next chapter brings her every happiness.

Thank you Jenni. You will be greatly missed. 💐
