Our team of lawyers can help obtain a reseal of a foreign grant of probate
We understand that in matters of probate, the duration of the process is probably foremost in your client’s mind. Your client and/or the family of the deceased are going through a difficult time and they require a clear, transparent and efficient service to access the deceased’s UK estate.
We can assist you in resealing a court-sealed and certified copy of your Commonwealth probate document, which will grant access to the UK assets of the deceased’s estate.
We can help you provide your client with peace of mind and a sense of closure at the end of a long and arduous time by ensuring that their matter is dealt with in a hassle-free and efficient manner.
We’re happy to discuss our reseals service and how we can assist you in a particular matter. Please contact us for more information.

Post death variations
Post death variations can help to achieve an outcome for succession and tax purposes which is in the best interests of the family and beneficiaries. We are often instructed by clients to redirect assets they have inherited by will or intestacy. These variations might include increasing individual cash legacies, ensuring that tax exemptions and reliefs are utilised, for example by varying the terms of an intestacy where the deceased was survived by their spouse and children.
