By providing an efficient, tailored and expert wills and probate solicitor service, George Ide LLP can assist in securing fairness and peace of mind following bereavement.
Our probate solicitors ensure that estates are distributed in accordance with the express wishes of the deceased person’s will.
They also bring sensitivity, understanding and a wealth of legal and tax knowledge to cases in which a person has died intestate – without a will – as well as in cases in which wills are disputed or ambiguous.
We can also help you complete an application for Grant of Probate or in receiving Letters of Administration, as well as providing clear advice and guidance on issues of estate administration, settling liabilities and ensuring tax efficiency.
Above all, the team of probate solicitors at George Ide seeks to provide insightful, plain-English advice and assistance to bereaved friends and family at a time of loss and uncertainty.

Dear Ursula
Just a quick informal note to say thank you to you and Dawn for all the work you have both done in sorting out my Aunt’s Estate. It has been a great help to me and you have provided a first class service at a very fair and reasonable price, thank you for getting it all sorted in such a good time.

I have worked with George Ide LLP for many years, initially as a support worker but now as a Registered Manager. I have found their brain injury
team, more specifically Paul Fretwell, to be highly efficient, supportive and effective when working alongside me with a very challenging group of clients. Paul and the team at George Ide LLP have secured settlements ranging from £1-6 million and beyond, ensuring financial security and peace of mind for life for the clients and their families.
I have worked closely over many years with Ursula Watt and Stephen Shine in George Ide LLP’s Court of Protection team. I am always impressed by how adaptable and attentive they are in looking after their brain-injured clients who often display challenging behaviour. They are able to communicate in a way our clients understand and work in a very person centered way. They are firm but fair and always have the clients’ best interests at heart. Karl Thompson.

Dear Ursula. Many thanks for your fine work in handling my Dad’s estate. My Mother and I feel very fortunate to have been so well looked after, and, as well as being thorough, you have been especially kind in the manner in which you spoke with my mother. I feel confident that I can provide for my Mum’s every need which is just as my father would have wished.

I am happy for you to continue finalising the Estate .
Many thanks and best wishes to you all, you have made my Sister and my life so much easier with your efficiency.
It has been an emotional time and somewhat chaotic for us both and your company have shown us great kindness and sensitivity throughout and for this we will always be grateful.
Best wishes
Ursula Watt
Thank you for your email advising me of the situation. It’s a great relief to know that this is finalised as **** parents are continuing to deteriorate. I’m very grateful to you for the caring and efficient way you dealt with **** herself and for your advice generally and the scale of your fees. I’m glad that we were recommended to you and I will pass on my own recommendations too.

I want to take this opportunity to thank you all at George Ide so much, for all the help and support you have given to the family down the years and in particular of course whilst acting for us as professional executor. This is an emotional period for all families I’m sure. It has been no different for us. You have handled everything with consummate professionalism throughout and especially so in our more fractious moments.
