We take the pain out of getting probate with our fast, personal and sympathetic service, with fees generally agreed in advance. Your Will sets out how your estate should be distributed after your death. We ask a number of "what if" questions and advise you on the tax implications of what you intend to do. Purely Probate specialises in helping you obtain probate - the process of transferring the assets of someone who has died to their beneficiaries.
Trusts are useful if you want to transfer ownership or use of assets, for example to your children, but there are circumstances that mean an outright gift is not the best way to achieve this. Lasting Powers of Attorney are legal documents in which you appoint someone you trust to look after your affairs on your behalf. If someone has died living abroad but with assets, in the UK we can help with the UK legal procedure and paperwork needed to have those assets repaid or transferred.
Have to say it is really lovely for me to speak with someone I can trust and truly has "no conflict of interest" in this case.

Unlike most lawyers we agree a fixed price without any extras, unless the estate is particularly complex.
We need to ask you a number of questions about the estate, to understand its size and complexity.
Once we have this information we will give you a fixed price quote.
This means you won't have to worry that we will charge you on a time spent basis every time you talk to us.
If any of the assets of the estate need to be sold we will either complete the sale for you or arrange for the work to be carried out by a specialist.

I am not a typical probate lawyer.
I spent 21 years, from 1990 to 2011 as Company Secretary and Head of Legal for Clarks Shoes.
I am still involved with various Clark charitable trusts.
Other volunteer roles have included being a governor of Millfield School, including a year as Chair of Governors, and chair of my local tennis club.
When my brother in law died the service we received from a high street legal practice was poor and expensive, and left me feeling there was a void to be filled.
I was determined to do better.
