At Derek Adkins Legal we offer you a full range of legal services at affordable prices, all our staff will work closely with you to ensure that the services we provide you are tailored to meet your own unique needs and objectives.

We offer a range of different legal services, one of the services we offer is our probate services. Probate is the process of dealing with an estate after someone has died and applying at Her Majesty’s Courts Service (HMCS) via the Probate Registry which can be done for an estate of someone who has died or it can also be done for a Grant of Probate ( where there is a will to execute) or it can also be done for Letters of Administration (where a person has died intestate without a will). Probate refers to getting the permission to be able to carry out the wishes of the persons will and the process of being able to settling the estate.

At DRA Legal we can offer a Fixed Price Probate Service; this is where we would attend the preparation of the necessary application to the Probate Registry and we could ‘extract the Grant’ on your behalf. Once this Grant is obtained you can attend the dealings with banks and other financial institutions in being able to release funds, this would result in saving you considerable costs compared to using a traditional high street solicitor who would typically charge an hourly rate plus  levy a further fee based on a percentage of the estate in question. Once you hold the Grant, we will be more than happy to assist further in securing the release of assets from the various institutions also including the sale of any property. The final stage of this Probate process is the distribution of the estate assets to the beneficiaries under the will (or intestacy) of the deceased.
