About us

The Probate Practice provides you with the expertise of Chartered Accountants (being part of the Nyman Libson Paul group of companies) in association with a solicitor to deal with the Executor’s Oath, and is suitable for people who want expert advisors to handle the complete administration of an Estate.

Why should you use us rather than a firm of solicitors or a bank to handle all your Probate matters?

Probate is mostly a numerical exercise.  The Probate Practice  have the knowledge and expertise to handle the sometimes complex accountancy matters of the deceased’s assets (property, possessions, personal funds, stocks and shares etc) and liabilities (debts) on death, whereas many solicitors may not be comfortable with the financial intricacies surrounding Probate.

We are cost effective

Our knowledge of taxation ensures that we can advise you on the ways in which you can minimise the Estate’s liability as much as possible. We also have experience in negotiating valuations with HMRC which can result in lower tax liabilities.

We guarantee a practical and fast service

In many instances we can reduce the probate time from 6 months to 3 months. We are qualified to deal with all aspects of Probate and work with a firm of well known solicitors to ensure that the Executor’s Oath (proof of Executor’s identity) is carried out as quickly as possible in order for Probate to be granted. Many people are unaware that this is the only aspect of Probate that is necessary to be carried out by a firm of solicitors in order for Probate to be granted quickly.
