Probate solicitors Manchester

Our Manchester based probate solicitors aim is to provide comprehensive support and guidance to ease the burden of navigating probate. Going through the grieving process of losing a loved one can be an extremely difficult experience and dealing with probate can make it even harder. That’s why The Probate Network can introduce you to probate solicitors in Manchester who can offer support and guidance starting with some free probate advice. 

The Probate Network will connect you with a knowledgeable probate solicitor who is regulated by the Law Society of England and Wales. They can help to guide you through any probate-related issues that you are facing whether that be applying for a Grant of Probate, estate administration or to more complex areas relating to inheritance tax, the rules of intestacy, international probate, trusts and contentious probate. You can trust your probate solicitor to provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions.

What can you expect from the call?

When you contact The Probate Network you will be introduced to with a qualified probate solicitor in Manchester who is happy to provide some free, no obligation advice. Prior to your call we have a probate checklist which you may like to review which will help you to collate the information you might need to complete the probate process. During the call, we aim to answer your probate related questions, information which may then be used for DIY probate and that’s fine. However, if professional support is required, your probate solicitor can provide an estimate of how much probate will cost and the likely timescales involved.

Why we offer free probate advice

Probate is a complex area and professional advice can be expensive which is why many people deal with probate themselves. Many people, when the estate is relatively simple, successfully complete the process. However, it’s not uncommon to stumble across areas of probate that are particularly complex and confusing. When this problem arises a good place to start is with some free probate advice. When you book via the Network, the probate solicitor will provide you with professional and objective guidance on probate and estate administration, helping you to establish a clear plan to manage the probate process. Or, you may decide that professional support would be advantageous in which case we hope you instruct a solicitor from The Probate Network.

What happens after the call?

After your consultation with a Manchester probate solicitor, you will have a better understanding of your legal position and the next steps to take. Our goal is to provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions. There is no pressure or obligation to instruct the solicitor for further work.

Other Probate Advice Options from The Probate Network

In addition to free probate advice, we also have a probate checklist which you can request. the checklist is a list of documents that you will need to collate to complete the probate process. Working through the list is a really good way to get organised as unfortunately, probate can be a paper heavy exercise. The second option we have is to request a probate quote which is an option for those who just want to hand over the process to a paid professional. It’s an option many take because of both the time that probate can take and because of the personal risk to executors and administrators of an estate.

The Probate Services Business Directory

Probate often involves numerous probate professionals including probate solicitors, probate accountants, house clearance, probate valuations, probate insurance and the list goes on. We have created the probate services business directory where you will find probate service providers based in Manchester and Nationwide.

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.
