Our specialist probate, estate and trust administration lawyers bring the experience and expertise that families, executors, beneficiaries and trustees depend on following a death. The work that we do is often complex, high-profile and multi-jurisdictional. From managing the entire day-to-day administration of an estate to providing strategic advice on relevant tax and fiduciary issues, we will make sure a family's inheritance is protected now and in the future.
Where investments and assets are held in different countries we work closely with foreign lawyers and advisors to ensure a seamless service. We frequently deal with applications to the UK Probate Registry in cases where foreign individuals die owning assets in the UK, whether or not they left a valid Will.
Clients also benefit from the support of our colleagues across the firm, including our specialist Real Estate, Corporate, Art and Luxury Assets teams.
Our Private Wealth Disputes team helps resolve disputes that arise in the UK and internationally. These disputes may involve issues such as international probate, trust litigation and asset tracing.
