Browse our Estate Administration (Probate) Services
We recognise appreciate that, at a time of bereavement, legal processes are most unwelcome. When you’re coming to terms with the loss of a loved one, having to deal with the legalities can feel overwhelming.
That’s why we take a very personal approach to guiding our clients through the process of estate administration and probate applications. Our aim is to remove some of the burden associated with dealing with the legal and tax affairs of the deceased, making the process run smoothly.
Clients are often unaware of the personal liability that goes with acting as an Executor or Administrator of a deceased’s estate. Estate administration can be complex, and getting it wrong can be very costly, and potentially to the Executor or Administrator personally. It is therefore important to seek legal advice early in the process to ensure that the administration of the estate is conducted appropriately.
Bury & Walkers private client team is structured in a way that we are able to provide support in standard probate applications at fixed prices, giving you peace of mind and confidence in the process.
Bury & Walkers - Experts in Trusts and Estates
Our team of experienced probate practitioners, paralegals and qualified solicitors is led by Bury & Walkers Partner, Amanda Fletcher who is a full member of The Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP). STEPS is the global professional body that helps families plan for their futures and its members are recognised as experts in this field with proven qualifications and experience.
Bury & Walkers have the expertise necessary to deal with complex estates. We have experience of dealing with the estates of business owners, farmers, landlords and high net worth individuals. We routinely advise on the availability of inheritance tax reliefs and the completion of the inheritance tax returns.
We are experienced in both testate (where there is a Will) and intestate (where there is no Will) estates, and whilst no two estates are ever the same, we have encountered the majority of circumstances and are therefore well-placed to advise you.
We are also able to help if you feel you may need to bring a claim against an estate to, for example, challenge the validity of a Will.
We are committed to delivering our service in a professional and empathetic way, managing you through the probate process as quickly and as easily as possible.
