Wills and Probate Solicitors in East Central London

The EC postcode area covers almost all of the City of London along with fringes of Islington, Camden, Hackney, Tower Hamlets and Westminster. Few people live in the Square Mile itself, yet many estates handled here belong to people who worked in the City and built up more than a house and savings. Share portfolios, partnership interests, pension schemes with death-in-service benefits and life policies written in trust can all sit within one estate. Each has its own route: some assets pass under the will, some go straight to nominated beneficiaries and some need a separate claim. Probate solicitors work through these assets, value the estate for inheritance tax, apply for the grant of probate and settle any debts before distributing the residue. If a business owner has died, they can handle business relief and any shareholder or partnership agreement that governs what happens to the interest. They also draft wills and lasting powers of attorney. The firm listed for East Central London is based just to the west in Holborn.
