Probate Solicitor Cheadle

Handling probate, particularly at a time of grief, can be stressful. The probate rules and process can sometimes be confusing but you don’t have to go through probate alone. You can receive support and guidance from our probate solicitors in Cheadle starting with some free probate advice via a twenty-minute telephone consultation. If you want to speak to someone urgently use our online form to request a callback or, if you want a little time to prepare, use the booking Calendar to choose a time and date that work for you.

What’s on offer?

Our Probate Solicitors in Cheadle offer valuable probate advice and support. The network provides you with access to professionals who can advise on;

What can you expect from the call?

You can expect advice and not a sales pitch. If you think that you may benefit from further legal support after the call please do ask the probate solicitor for information on the probate costs for professional advice. However, for many people some simple guidance is all that is required to successfully complete the probate process.

To make the most of your call you may want to review the probate checklist which will help you prepare. It’s a simple list of documents which you are likely to need to complete the probate process including a copy of the will (if there is one) to share certificates which are required to sell shares of the deceased.

What happens after the call?

By consulting a Cheadle probate solicitor, you will gain a better understanding of your legal situation. It is easier to navigate probate if you understand what legal steps are necessary and how to proceed. Additionally, you will be aware of the cost of professional support if needed.

Questions about disputed wills or contentious probate may arise, and you can use the call to gain an insight into the your legal rights and costs involved in defending them.

Why does the Network offer this service?

Free advice from solicitors is not an option with many law firms. Some firms require an official appointment and a consultation fee to be agreed upon before you can speak with a probate solicitor for the first time. However, with The Probate Network, you have the opportunity to speak directly with a qualified and regulated professional in Cheadle who is willing to offer some initial free advice regarding probate matters. This provides you with some free guidance and the chance to determine if this solicitor is someone you are comfortable working with should you require further professional support in the future (for a fee).

Probate solicitors in our Network are highly qualified and experienced. With expertise in this probate and estate administration, the lawyer will be a member of the Law Society of England and Wales and regulated by the SRA. We ensure that you are in good hands and that you can trust the professional guidance that you receive.

The person I spoke with seemed to be very knowledgeable and made some good points. But, given the relatively simple probate application (uncontested and all documents available) the charge of 1.75% on £750k is way over the top. Substantially more than my local high street solicitor. So thanks but no thanks.

I used the 20 minute free service. The call I received was punctual and my three questions were answered fully and clearly. There was no pressure to progress to 'paid for' services. On that basis, if I do need further help with probate, I think I'd be happy to try them out.
Really really helpful at such a difficult and vulnerable time.He went through everything clearly and supportively

My appointment was scheduled and the subsequent call was on time. I had an excellent discussion with Keisha. She provided a detailed answer to my query and gave me a clear way forward.

I can't thank Lesley at Awakened Law enough for the invaluable advice she provides with regards the my late fathers estate. She was kind, sympathetic and answered all my questions.There was no 'hard sell' to employ her services, which, I have to confess, had been a concern.Thanks again to Lesley and The Probate Network.

I hate to leave negative reviews, especially as it seems everybody else has had a good experience, but I booked an online consultation and sat waiting for 20 minutes and nobody contacted me. I also submitted an online enquiry asking a question instead and never received a reply. The only contact I received was an email asking for feedback, so here it is.

I needed some advice on completing probate inheritance tax forms. I thought this may be a sales pitch but it wasn't. The guy I spoke with gave me some really useful advice which helped me to complete the all the forms which HMRC seem to be happy with. Great service, highly recommended.

Whilst I did get some useful advice this arena is more focused on selling the services of the solicitor who you meet with, and I felt the advice was not definitive because of that. My call was a WhatsApp video call which I wasn’t expecting. If you’re ready and presentable it’s probably better!

The agent was very patient in dealing with the multiplicity of detail that I supplied, and with the numerous questions that I asked. I sense that this patience caused the consultation to go beyond the allotted time, and that was especially appreciated.

Holly was fantastic. She contacted me prior to the appointment to ensure that the time was still convenient. During the consultation she was objective and informative. Excellent information, advice and guidance. The offer to answer further questions was also offered. An amazing service that really helped me when I needed it massively. Thank you and would recommend this to anyone needing support with regards to being left sorting out an estate, with or without a will. Thank you Holly

Often ‘free consultation’ means vague information and a hard sell so I was sceptical about this service. How wrong I was! They were absolutely brilliant! They listened, they gave me good advice discussing options and made sure I was clear about the legal position before finishing the call. There was no ‘sell’ and no pressure. Based on this experience they come acidosis open, transparent and honest and so, if things don’t work out, I’d be inclined to go back to The Probate Network. Superb!

Booked a 20 minute free consultation as desperate for advice - had no expectation of it actually happening or being useful but it turned out to be exactly what was promised - free, professional advice (and very useful) at the time slot I chose. Am v grateful - thanks.
