Some straightforward estates can be handled by a family member acting as executor where the estate is simple, there is no property, and everyone is in agreement.

Professional help is usually advisable where there is property, significant assets or investments, inheritance tax may apply, a contested will, multiple beneficiaries, or where the executor lives abroad or is elderly.

Even in simpler estates, many people still choose support as probate can be time-consuming and detail-heavy at an already difficult time.
We always give honest advice: if you do not need a solicitor, we will tell you. If you do, we will explain why and guide you through the process.

👉 If you are unsure, just give us a call and our friendly team will be happy to help.

This is what we are all about. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A client got in touch with our Managing Partner Nicola Lowe for some initial advice, and as his review shows, we didn't just answer his question: we made sure his family member could easily get the support they needed too.

That's what going the extra mile looks like to us. Not just doing the job but genuinely caring about the people behind it.

Nicola is our Managing Partner, Head of Private Client and an experienced Conveyancing solicitor, but above all, she's the kind of solicitor who picks up the phone and makes sure you are okay.

Whenever you are ready we are here. 💚

Property transaction delays are becoming more common across the UK in 2026, with conveyancing times increasing due to local authority search backlogs, stricter compliance checks, and complex property chains.

These delays can create uncertainty for buyers and sellers and, in some cases, lead to failed transactions.
