Probate Services
Individuals, families, executors, trustees and beneficiaries rely on our expertise as probate specialists. We have significant experience in dealing with a wide range of probate matters, and often deal with large, highly complex estates on behalf of our clients.
We provide a cost effective, responsive and knowledgeable service, and will guide you through the entire process. Our reassuring approach, at what can be a time of emotional distress, is valued by our clients. It is our priority to ensure that the matter runs as smoothly as possible.
We tailor our approach individually to the size of the estate and the nature and extent of assets. Our specialist team of probate lawyers and financial experts work closely with other professionals and accountants to ensure that your matter benefits from all the expertise we have at our disposal.
We administer estates ranging from small, non-taxable estates to larger, complex ultra high net worth estates containing significant assets and investments based across multiple jurisdictions.
Our international experience allows us to handle highly complex multi-jurisdictional estates in a sophisticated and efficient manner.
