We pride ourselves on our sensitive but professional approach. We know you just want to get your life back on track, so we handle probate enquiries as efficiently as possible but with the sensitivity you would hope for.

Below are some of the steps we take when administrating an Estate. We will;

 Settle any debts, assuming there are sufficient funds available

 Calculate the Inheritance Tax bill

 Distribute the assets, as set out in the Will

Our solicitors can also handle Power of Attorney cases.

If you require assistance with any probate matter, do not hesitate to contact us on the number at the bottom of the screen, and let us help you through this difficult time.

Wills

Our Cambridge solicitors always recommend writing a Will. Below are just a few of the reasons you might want to consider doing so;

 While married couples and civil partners will automatically inherit, cohabiting couples do not unless stated in the Will

 It is a chance to state who you wish to look after any dependents in the event of your death

 You can ensure close friends or important charities do not miss out

 With some careful planning it is possible to minimise your Inheritance Tax bill

Once you have written your Will it is important to keep it updated. If you go through a major change in circumstance, such as getting married or divorced, and fail to update the document, it may be deemed invalid.

If you wish to write or update your Will, our Cambridge probate solicitors can help. Call us on the number below or complete the form to the right and one of our team will call you back.
