Probate Solicitors Leicester

When contacting The Probate Network, individuals can expect to be put in touch with a reliable and compassionate probate solicitor in Leicester who will offer initial free probate advice through a 20-minute telephone consultation. The probate solicitor will be a member of the Law Society and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. The call will not be a sales pitch. The call will provide you with genuine and helpful advice that can assist in planning your next steps to manage the probate process. During the consultation, individuals can discuss various probate-related matters such as;

• applying for a grant of probate
• the rules of intestacy
• help with probate forms
• valuing probate property
• dealing with contentious probate
• inheritance tax and inheritance tax exemptions
• estate administration, and estate distribution
• assistance with locating beneficiaries
• contentious probate
• International probate

If further assistance is required, individuals can also request a probate quote during the consultation or through an online form at a later time. The Probate Network stands out from other services as not all solicitors offer free advice. By connecting individuals with probate solicitors in Leicester who are willing to provide free probate advice, individuals can determine if the solicitor is someone they can work with should they need further advice in the future.

Before the consultation, it is advisable to review The Probate Network’s probate checklist which lists all the necessary documents required for completing the probate process. This ensures that individuals are fully prepared for the call and can make the most of the free advice offered.

After the consultation, individuals will have a better understanding of their legal position and can decide if they require the support of a probate solicitor. If necessary, individuals can request assistance from the probate solicitor for specific elements of the probate process, such as calculating inheritance tax and exemptions, which can be complex and challenging to navigate. The probate solicitor can also assist with applying for the grant of probate or letters of administration and help with estate administration and distribution.

Contentious Probate

If the consultation pertains to contentious probate, individuals can gain insight into whether they have grounds to contest and the likelihood of success, as well as an estimate of the legal costs involved.

Why we offer this service

The Probate Network was launched to provide people needing probate advice with an option to talk to a local probate solicitor (for free) to ask some initial questions. The Probate Network was launched following the Founders experience of trying to find a solicitor that would answer the question “Is Probate Required?” The response of local solicitors was to only agree to answer the question if an official appointment was booked which would cost hundreds of pounds. In this instance it would have cost hundreds of pounds to be told, that probate wasn’t required.

The free advice we offer is genuine

Upon completing the complimentary consultation, individuals may come to the realisation that they have the ability to complete the necessary paperwork and navigate the probate process without the assistance of a professional. However, it is also possible that they may require the aid of an expert in this field. Regardless of the outcome, the 20-minute consultation provides three critical pieces of information.

Firstly, it provides an initial assessment of the individual’s unique needs, based on their specific circumstances. This assessment is crucial in determining the most effective course of action for navigating the probate process.

Secondly, the consultation can result in an estimate of the potential costs associated with professional probate assistance. This information allows individuals to make an informed decision about whether or not they wish to pursue professional help.

Lastly, the consultation gives individuals the opportunity to evaluate their comfort level with the lawyer on the other end of the phone should they need further support. Probate can be an emotionally taxing experience, and it is essential to have a professional who can provide guidance and support, while also establishing a rapport with the client.
