Our team provides clear, compassionate and practical legal support, so the estate is administered correctly and efficiently, with as little worry as possible for you and your loved ones.

What Does a Probate Specialist Do?

Probate is the legal process of dealing with the estate of someone who has passed away. It usually involves valuing assets, settling debts and taxes, and distributing what remains in line with the will or the rules of intestacy. As your probate specialist, we guide you through every stage. This includes checking whether probate is needed, obtaining the grant and completing the final distribution to beneficiaries.

Our Probate Services in Ilford

Our Complete Probate Service includes:

Applying for a grant of probate or letters of administration
Advising executors and administrators on their legal duties
Valuing the estate and preparing HMRC and Inheritance Tax forms
Inheritance Tax planning to help reduce the financial burden on your family
Advice on gifted property and how it may affect Inheritance Tax
Collecting assets, paying outstanding debts and keeping accurate estate accounts

Why Choose Our Probate Specialist Team?

Probate paperwork must be accurate. Mistakes in estate valuations or applications can cause delays and may lead to paying more Inheritance Tax than necessary. Our solicitors complete and submit the forms on your behalf, giving you confidence that everything is right the first time.

Every estate is different, so Farani Taylor Solicitors Ilford offers tailored advice rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. The estate may be straightforward, or it may include property, investments, foreign assets or business interests. Either way, our team explains each step in plain English and keeps you informed throughout. We also give realistic timelines from the start. A grant of representation typically takes around 3-6 months, while full administration can take 6-12 months or longer, depending on the circumstances. Either way, we explain each step in plain English and keep you informed throughout.
