What Is Probate?

The death of a loved one is a distressing and emotional time for the family; you can depend on us to deal with all aspects of estate administration. Ash Hill Probate solicitors specialise in obtaining grants of probate, letters of administration, cases of Will disputes and inheritance claims.


Our Wills and Probate solicitors have specialist knowledge in handling all aspects of estate administration. We offer compassionate and sympathetic advice to ensure that the process from start to finish is dealt with in an efficient manner. Our aim is to lift the burden of Probate from our client in a cost-effective manner.


We have a team of Wills and Probate lawyers with many years of experience in dealing with complex estate matters. Often, we have prepared a deed of variation to maximise benefits for our clients. A deed of variation is a document that allows the beneficiaries named in the Will to change the distribution of the estate. For example, where no Will has been made or someone has been left out of a Will, there is a way to still give provision to someone who falls into these scenarios. 


We can assist executors to avoid mistakes and solve problems and disputes in all aspects of administering a person’s estate after death.

Why Make a Will?

Making a will is essential to make sure your wishes are legally binding after death. We can advise you on the best way to pass on your assets to your loved ones.


By making a Will you can have control on how your estate will be distributed. Ash Hill have the reputation for being considered as the Will solicitors in Harrow, London. We can help you ensure that the benefit of your assets passes to the right people at the right time and that the right controls are in place when that happens. This will also prevent any disputes arising in your family after you are gone.


A Will enables you to choose:


  • Executors
  • Guardians for children
  • Trustees
  • Tax mitigation strategies
  • Asset protection structures


You can decide the ultimate destination of your cash, personal effects, property, and other assets which would otherwise pass in accordance with intestacy rules set out by the government. Here is a link to the intestacy rules: https://www.gov.uk/inherits-someone-dies-without-will


We can also assist you to look at other aspects of succession planning, such as:


  • Lifetime gifts
  • Reorganising business interests
  • Family trust arrangements
  • Codicils
  • Trusts
  • Living Wills
  • Inheritance Tax Planning
  • Deeds of Variation


Once you have made your Will, we shall guide you in registering your Will with the National Will Register, the Law Society's endorsed provider of a national Will register and Will Search service. 


Whether you are writing a Will or in the unfortunate situation of distributing an estate, the services provided by Ash Hill Solicitors in Harrow are aimed to help protect you and your family.

Estate Disputes

Estate disputes arise when you feel that a loved one’s Will does not provide for you, or you believe there is a mistake with the Will, then it may be necessary to challenge its validity. Alternatively, if your loved one did not leave a will and as a result you have been excluded from their estate, then it may be possible to make a claim on their estate. However, this can be a complicated process that needs to be handled efficiently by a Probate lawyer to prevent beneficiaries from facing delays in receiving their rightful inheritance.


Disputes about the validity of Wills and Trusts, and the distribution of deceased persons’ estates, are on the rise. As Probate solicitors we can act for executors, administrators, beneficiaries, and dependants in all aspects of contentious probate matters including:


  • Acquiring information and accounts from executors and administrators
  • Addressing challenges to the appointment of executors
  • Dealing with issues regarding the validity of wills
  • Inheritance Act claims


We are experienced in dealing sensitively with family disputes arising in estates. Wherever possible, we aim to achieve an early, cost-effective resolution for you through pre-action protocols, deeds of variation and mediation. When that does not prove possible, we engage our significant litigation experience as Probate solicitors to achieve the best possible outcome for you.


Regardless of the specific circumstances of your claim or the complexity of the situation, our highly qualified Probate solicitors are here to support you. We listen to your concerns, provide you with the best advice and do all we can to make the process of contesting a will stress-free, giving you the best chance of securing your desired outcome as swiftly as possible.
