Probate & Estate Administration

A Law Firm For Life

The death of a loved one and the subsequent responsibility of dealing with estate administration and probate can be very difficult.

Irwin Mitchell’s specialist team can give advice and support on dealing with an estate, or acting as an executor or administrator. We will aim to make the experience as stress-free as possible.

Experts in Probate and Estate Administration

In order to collect assets, sell property and wind up an estate, you will usually need to obtain a “Grant of Probate” from court.

The Grant of Probate confirms that the person appointed in the Will (the Executor) or if there is no Will, the Administrator, has the authority to deal with the deceased’s estate. More information on this and other topics can be found on our FAQs page.

Irwin Mitchell has three levels of service available which provide the level of advice you need rather a one size fits all approach.
