Helping Families Navigate Probate and Estate Planning with Ease
Our private client department is headed by the firm’s partner Nigel George TEP. We offer a professional and cost-effective service. Our wills, trusts and probate team deals with planning ahead – whether by wills, trusts or Lasting Powers of Attorney, and also assists clients with legal and tax affairs in the event of a death.
Our probate lawyers form an experienced and highly qualified team of solicitors who can help you to ensure that you know precisely what will happen to your assets when you die. If you have children, you can indicate who will care for them and how they will be financially supported.
Request for a Legal Consultation
Garner & Hancock realise that the prospect of pursuing a legal matter can be challenging, so we offer an initial phone consultation to discuss your options, and to give you information that will help you make the right choices affecting your case.
How We Support You:
What is Probate?
Probate is the legal process of administering the estate of a deceased person. It involves identifying and collecting the assets of the deceased, paying off any debts or taxes, and distributing the remaining assets to the beneficiaries.
What Clients Say About Us
Excellent Service
“Excellent service from the team at Garner & Hancock who dealt with my late Aunt’s estate for me. This took three years to complete as it was, from my point of view, a very complicated affair. From the initial ‘phone call from Jakub Kotan advising me that I was the beneficiary to this estate, to the final recent email, I found all the team to be very professional, but also approachable. Garner & Hancock took all the worry off my shoulders as I had no idea where to start if I had tried sorting this out on my own!”
David Fowler, May 2025
Informative and Considerate
“Over many years we have always found Garner & Hancock Solicitors to be responsive, informative and considerate in what can be very laborious and jargon laden property issues. Thank you for your first class service and advice. Stephen and Irene.”
