Applying for a Grant of Probate is something that we assist with if there is a Will. It is sometimes time consuming and complicated, so at a difficult time, let us help you. We can get valuations of the assets of the estate including property and bank accounts, investments and savings, deal with liabilities of the estate, complete all of the necessary tax forms, preparing Oaths and applying to the Probate Registry on your behalf.
Once the Grant of Probate is obtained, we can administer the assets of the estate according to the Will.
Navigating the probate process can be challenging, especially during a time of grief. At T.G. Collins Solicitors, we offer expert assistance to ensure that the administration of the deceased’s estate is handled with care and precision. Whether dealing with a will or handling cases where there is no will, our team is here to guide you every step of the way.
One of the critical aspects of probate is managing inheritance tax. We assist in the completion and submission of necessary tax forms, including the IHT 205 tax form for simpler estates and the IHT 400 tax form for more complex cases. Our experts will help you understand the inheritance tax threshold, ensuring compliance and optimising your tax liabilities.
Maximising the nil rate band and residence nil rate band can significantly impact the amount of inheritance tax due. Our solicitors provide thorough advice on how to best utilise these allowances, ensuring that your loved ones benefit fully from the available tax reliefs.
For those handling the estate of a deceased loved one, obtaining letters of administration or a grant of probate is essential. T.G. Collins Solicitors will assist you through the probate registry process, ensuring all legal requirements are met promptly and efficiently.
If you are named as an executor in a will, or if you are a beneficiary of an estate, our solicitors offer clear guidance on your roles and rights. We help executors fulfil their duties correctly and ensure beneficiaries receive what is rightfully theirs.

EXCELLENT Based on 246 reviews Wanda van Gelderen2025-07-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found T. G. Collins Solicitors via a Google Search. I was looking for a cost effective way to sell a 2-bed apartment I had. On paper, everything looked straight forward. I had nothing to buy, there was no chain, and the buyers had just a few queries. The reality turned out to be rather different. There was one query that was rather complex and it took many months to resolve. Simi, from the conveyancing department, stood by me and handled everything with patience and politeness. She's a credit to the firm. Thank you for everything you've done for me, Simi.

I found TG Collins online, I gave them a call to discuss a property conveyancing matter and they were friendly and reasonably priced. As soon as they were formally instructed they have been amazing. Callum has kept us updated throughout the whole process and helped push the process through. I would have no hesitation in recommending them or using them again.
