Questions
What does probate actually involve?
Probate confirms your legal right to manage a deceased person's estate. We handle asset identification, tax calculations, and legal documentation to transfer assets to beneficiaries according to the will or intestacy rules.
How can a will protect my family?
A properly drafted will ensures your assets go to intended beneficiaries, minimises family disputes, and allows for care arrangements through LPAs. We create clear, legally binding documents tailored to your specific circumstances.
Do you charge extra for home visits?
No, our home visits are included in standard service charges. We visit at your convenience to discuss will writing, probate, or LPA requirements without additional travel costs across Kent.
What happens if someone dies without a will?
Intestacy rules determine asset distribution. We guide families through the legal process, helping identify next of kin and distribute assets according to statutory guidelines while providing emotional and administrative support.
How long does probate take?
Typical probate cases take 6-12 months depending on estate complexity. We provide regular updates throughout the process, handling tax submissions and asset transfers to complete matters as efficiently as possible.
