When someone dies without having made a will it is known as dying intestate, therefore, rules of intestacy must be followed.
Under the laws of intestacy, there is a strict legal order as to who may apply to be the administrator (equivalent of an executor) in an intestate estate. It is essential to follow appropriate legal advice to ensure you are not doing something without the correct authority.
The rules of intestacy also determine who inherits the deceased’s assets and in what proportion. Failure to administer the estate correctly can be very costly and for this reason, professional advice should always be sought.
Here at Taylor Bracewell our team have a wealth of experience in dealing with the administration of estates. Our solicitors can assist you with any part of the process and will resolve everything sympathetically and as quickly as possible to allow you to grieve without any undue stress.

I would highly recommend Taylor Brcewell. Holly was very friendly and professional throughout the whole process and guided us through creating our wills for our specific needs. She was very clear when explaining each part of the process. We didn't feel rushed and were given chance to make any amendments prior to signing, of which there were none. A very nice customer service experience.

Everything went fine. Clear explanation by Clare in a professional and friendly manner. Made even better as the office was near where I live, so not even the hassle of driving or parking.

Thanks to Clare Wyett and colleagues for gaining probate of my late wife's estate. The process has been stress-free. We are now in the process of setting up a trust to protect the property, again, this has been a stress-free process for us. Thanks again to the team - always very helpful.

"I have recently sold my property in Liverpool and Peter Caswell at Taylor Bracewell Solicitos acted on my behalf and he was outstanding. This was a very difficult sale due to the fact that the other party's solicitors was excessive in their demand and clearly ignorant but Peter was very patient during what ended up being a long drawn out process. Peter maintained professionalism..."
