Page Nelson Solicitors can help with dealing with the affairs of someone who has died. We have many years’ experience of dealing with the administration of estates, and obtaining the Grant of Probate or the Letters of Administration.
We can advise Executors, or act as Executors ourselves, so that you have the comfort of knowing that the affairs of someone who has died are properly dealt with. Our clients tell us that our involvement gives them peace of mind and reassurance at this very difficult time.
Again, this will vary depending on the size of the estate, the types of assets involved and whether or not there is a valid will.

If the estate falls outside the above criteria, the administration work involved becomes more complex and varies greatly.
We estimate that, in these circumstances, our fees will be approximately 2% – 3% of the gross value of the estate plus VAT and we will be able to give you more accurate quotation once we have met with you at our initial meeting and discussed the assets within the estate in detail.
You will be pleased to know that even in these circumstances, we will be able to give you a quotation and are costs are not determined by an hourly rate which we appreciate can quickly spiral.
Here at Page Nelson we understand that some executors require more help during the administration process than others and we pride ourselves in offering as much help as is required by each individual.
Because of this, we offer a Grant Only service whereby Page Nelson will carry out all the work and administration necessary to obtain the Grant and the appointed executors or the administrators may then feel they are able to collect in the assets and distribute the estate themselves.
