Expert Help with Probate

Probate is the legal and financial process of dealing with the property, money, and possessions (the 'Estate') of a person who has died.

Being named as an Executor in a Will is a significant responsibility. You are legally liable for identifying all assets, paying any debts and taxes (including Inheritance Tax), and distributing the remainder to the beneficiaries according to the Will.

At Hetts, our Probate department is led by Natalie Beech. We understand that this responsibility can feel overwhelming, especially whilst grieving. Natalie and her team can handle as much or as little of the administration as you wish, removing the burden from your shoulders.

No Will? If a loved one has died without leaving a Will (Intestacy), the process is more complex. We can help you apply for 'Letters of Administration' to legally deal with the estate.

Why use a solicitor?

Mistakes in calculating estate value or Inheritance Tax can lead to personal liability for Executors.

By instructing Natalie Beech at Hetts, you ensure that the estate is administered correctly, tax-efficiently, and in full compliance with the law, preventing potential disputes between beneficiaries.

Full Estate Administration

We handle everything from start to finish. This includes valuing assets, contacting banks, calculating and paying Inheritance Tax, selling property, settling debts, preparing estate accounts, and distributing funds to beneficiaries.
