Our team of experts will handle the legalities, from obtaining grant of probate to the distribution of assets, allowing you to focus on what matters most, supporting your family and loved ones during this emotional time.

Finances can be a great concern after the passing of a loved one. That is why we pride ourselves on our ability to deliver uncompromising high-quality legal advice and services at cost-effective pricing. With detailed estimates provided before we undertake any work, you can rest assured you will not be blindsided by additional fees.

Our Estate Administration Solicitors have years of experience assisting clients with services such as:

Wills: A properly drafted will is crucial to ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes after your passing. Our skilled solicitors can assist you in creating a legally valid and comprehensive will, tailored to your specific circumstances and requirements. We take the time to understand your wishes and ensure that your loved ones are provided for, offering you peace of mind for the future.

Probate Services: Obtaining a grant of probate (or letters of administration, if there is no will) is a necessary step in administering a deceased estate. Our experienced probate solicitors can guide you through the probate process, handling all legal aspects efficiently. From applying for the grant of probate to valuing the estate, settling debts, and distributing assets, we ensure that the process is smooth and hassle-free.

Deed of Variation of Wills: Life is unpredictable, and circumstances may change after the passing of a loved one. A Deed of Variation allows beneficiaries to alter the distribution of the estate, ensuring it aligns with their current needs and objectives. Our solicitors can assist in creating a Deed of Variation, providing expert advice to help you make the necessary changes while adhering to legal requirements.

Remove Deceased Owner from Tile (HMLR Form DJP): If the deceased person owned a property jointly with someone else, it may be desirable to remove their name from the title. Our team can assist with the necessary legal steps to transfer ownership and update the Land Registry records, ensuring a smooth transition of property ownership.

Assent: An assent is the legal document used to transfer ownership of a property from a deceased person’s estate to a beneficiary. Our knowledgeable solicitors can handle the assent process efficiently, ensuring the property is transferred to the rightful beneficiary according to the deceased’s wishes.

Why Timely Estate Administration Matters

Delaying the administration of an estate can result in serious consequences, such as financial penalties from HMRC, unnecessary Inheritance Tax, property deterioration, and even disputes between beneficiaries. Acting promptly ensures the estate is preserved and distributed efficiently in accordance with the deceased’s wishes.

At Mounteney, we act quickly and efficiently in all estate administration matters, ensuring the safeguarding of the deceased’s estate so their final wishes are delivered just as they intended.

We had the pleasure of working with Anna for the conveyancing of our property for the first time.We cannot stress enough how much of an amazing job she did throughout the entire process. Not only was she quick to responded to us but she dealt with the buyer's solicitor exceptionally well after numerous back and forth. This was something only she could have done. Furthermore, she was honest with us and suggested if things weren't realistic in certain time frames. This is something we respected considering how pushy we were every day to get things over the line.If / when the time comes and we move house again, we will be asking for Anna and the team at Mounteney Solicitors. We would highly recommend them to anyone.Thanks again Anna!

Excellent coneyancing service from Anna Beavers at Mounteney - very quick responses to our queries and kept us informed at all stages of the process - I would definitely go back to Mounteney for my next house purchase or sale
Grateful thanks to Aman for all his support whilst going through a stressful house sale. Good communication and prompt replies to phone calls and emails. All business conducted in a highly professional manner.
Worked with Anna and Sam on a property sale involving a company. They were very communicative and engaged, which I find rare in Conveyancers nowadays. The entire experience was quick, painless, and easy. Highly recommended.
I was very satisfied, Anna was always very helpful and explained everything. This was my first property purchase in the UK and I was happy how Anna guided me through the process.
