Client: “I got the Grant of Probate myself last year.”

Me: “Great. Have you transferred the property?”

Client: “No.”

Me: “Have you registered the trust?”

Client: “No.”

Me: “Have you paid the legacies?”

Client: “No.”

Me: “Okay… so what can I help you with?”

Client: “Can you tell me if I need to pay Inheritance Tax?”

And there, in one conversation, is one of the biggest misconceptions about probate.

Getting the Grant is not the same as administering an estate.

A Grant of Probate gives the executors the legal authority to deal with the estate. It doesn't mean the job is finished.

Depending on the estate, there may still be property to transfer or sell, liabilities to settle, tax matters to deal with, trusts to constitute and register, legacies to pay, estate accounts to prepare and the residue to distribute.

Doing probate yourself can absolutely be appropriate in some estates.

But obtaining the Grant is sometimes only the beginning.

And if you aren't sure what needs to happen after the Grant arrives, that is probably the point to get some advice — rather than putting it safely in a drawer for a year. 🙈

Last night our team attended the global awards. Yes global!!!

We made finalists in two categories! 🥳🥳🥳🤗🤗🤗

To be at the Oscars of the profession and amongst the highest calibre of solicitors from across the world was insane.

To have recognition from global judges for the work our small team does was incredible.

It just demonstrates that the small acts done right can make a difference in every way.

We do not work to get awards. The work we do gets us awards. It is a team effort and being at the ceremony as a team meant everything!

An amazing night coming runner up Law firm of the year! I could not be more proud of my team!!!

It's not just about the awards and getting dressed up. Its about a recognition that size does not matter.

The hardwork that goes on behind the scenes, the charity work we do both to raise funds and also free advice clinics doesn't go unnoticed.

It's nice to sit amongst some of the best in the legal profession and feel humbled at this award.

♥️♥️♥️

CANCER is not just a word. It’s a disease that, if not caught early, can catch you out.

Constant research is essential to understanding the vast number of cancers that exist—some of which are rare.

Think about it: without research, no new medications would be developed, no trials would take place, and the hope of life would not be there for so many.

Supporting cancer research and the development of life-saving treatments is vital for our generation and the next.

Touch Solicitors ltd are proud to support Cancer Research UK and partner with their Will Writing Programme. Through this scheme, you can create a Will while also giving back to a cause that saves lives.

To book an appointment, call 0161 241 9400.

We offer remote appointments to fit busy schedules.

This week is Remember A Charity Week and at the heart of what our Firm is about.

It's easy to assume that the large, well-known charities are the ones that need the most help, but the truth is, local charities—those working tirelessly in our communities—often struggle to find the funding they need to continue making a difference.

These organisations provide essential support, but this comes at a cost. For them, even the smallest donations make a huge impact. When we think about leaving a legacy, it doesn't have to be something grand or unattainable—every little bit counts.

Leaving a legacy makes a difference, not to the Charity, but the people they help.

Imagine if everyone left a small gift in their will to a cause they care about. Together, those small gestures could add up to life-changing support for the people and communities that need it most.

So this week, I encourage you to think about leaving something—no matter how small—to a charity that could truly benefit.

You may not always feel the need to help, but remember, these charities are there to help all of us, without hesitation.

Consider making your legacy one that continues to give.
