Wills and Probate Solicitors in Southend-On-Sea
Wills and probate solicitors help people plan their estate and guide families through the legal steps after a death. They write wills, prepare lasting powers of attorney so that someone can manage money or care decisions, and set up trusts for children or vulnerable relatives. Inheritance tax planning covers the nil-rate bands, the residence nil-rate band and lifetime gifts.
When someone dies, solicitors can value the estate, settle any care fees owed, report the estate for inheritance tax and apply for the grant of probate. Without a will, the estate needs letters of administration instead. The intestacy rules then decide who inherits. Solicitors collect the assets, sell property and distribute the estate. A deed of variation can change who inherits within two years, and disputes over a will can often be settled without going to court.
