Intestacy
Clarity in complexity. Guidance when it matters most.
As an independent London firm with deep experience in estate administration and cross-border succession, we combine legal precision with discretion and empathy. We guide clients through every stage of the process – from understanding succession rights to securing and distributing assets – ensuring estates are administered correctly and relationships preserved. The guidance we provide gives you confidence amid uncertainty.
A joined-up view
Intestacy often involves overlapping legal, tax and jurisdictional issues. We work collaboratively across private client, tax, and international teams – supporting executors, administrators and beneficiaries alike – to address the full picture.
Our work includes advising on:
- UK and international succession law
- Forced heirship rules
- Taxation of estates and beneficiaries
- Obtaining a Grant of Representation
- Resealing foreign Grants of Probate or equivalent
- Acting as administrator where required
We also coordinate with overseas counsel and trusted professional advisers to ensure that estates with assets or beneficiaries in multiple jurisdictions are managed smoothly and compliantly.
Quiet strength. Lasting support.
We recognise that dealing with an intestacy can be both legally complex and emotionally challenging. Our approach is calm, pragmatic and personal – focused on resolving matters efficiently while maintaining respect for family dynamics and cultural considerations.
As a certified B Corporation, we are committed to acting responsibly and with integrity, ensuring that every estate is administered with transparency and care.
Three-dimensional advice
Drawing on more than a century of experience, we bring together legal, tax and international expertise to manage estates from start to finish. We look beyond the immediate legal process to anticipate future implications – helping families and advisers achieve closure, preserve value and plan with confidence.
Collaborative in approach. Committed in purpose. Connected where it matters most.
