Post Death Wills Advice

Assessing and implementing a will is one of the many practical issues on which we advise clients. Our probate solicitors can verify the validity of wills as well as setting out their intentions and effect.

Estate Administration

Gillhams' probate solicitors specialise in the administration of estates. We work to seamlessly guide our clients through the formalities, issues and day-to-day practicalities involved, ensuring that everything is taken care of and nothing is overlooked.

For example, our probate solicitors can assist clients in obtaining a grant of probate or letters of administration to allow clients to administer the estate and distribute legacies.

Inheritance Tax

Whether or not a valid will exists, inheritance tax is one of the issues that executors and trustees have to consider when administering an estate. Our probate solicitors can help alleviate this burden, offering clear, practical advice and assistance.

Protecting Executors

There are many costs or charges that may attach to an estate over time, many of which may be more remote or unexpected. Our probate solicitors help executors anticipate and prepare for such eventualities, helping to protect them from liabilities that may arise.

Foreign Elements

More and more estates have elements abroad and it is vital to ensure that these are managed correctly. With London probate solicitors experienced in administering the affairs in England of estates with foreign assets or beneficiaries, our team provides a comprehensive and expert service.

Disputes and Financial Claims

Beyond issues of administration, our probate solicitors can also help if any disputes arise. Whether it relates to the terms of the will or any aspect of the estate, we offer our clients sound advice and expert representation.

Receivership Matters

Our probate solicitors have advised executors of estates under receivership, helping guide them through this challenging process.

We help our clients deal with all issues of settlements and trusts.

Home Visits

In keeping with our focus on personal service, our probate solicitors frequently make home visits for our elderly clients.
