Probate Solicitors Hull

We take on the work of probate for families and executors, from our Parliament Street office.

Call our team today01482 228808Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm

When someone close to you has died, sorting out their estate can feel overwhelming. Our probate team at 2 Parliament Street in Hull takes that work on for families and executors across the city and the surrounding area. The work is carried out under the supervision of a Director, and our firm is accredited under the Law Society's Wills and Inheritance Quality Scheme.

What we do for you

You can choose how much you would like us to do.

  • Obtaining the grant. We prepare the application and obtain the Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration, then send copies to you so that you can deal with the estate yourself. We typically charge £999 + VAT (£1,198.80 including VAT), depending on the circumstances.
  • Dealing with the whole estate. We value the estate, deal with banks and other institutions, report to HMRC, settle debts and pay the beneficiaries. Our probate fees page sets out typical costs, disbursements and timescales.

When the estate includes a Hull property

Most estates we deal with include a home. If it is to be sold or transferred, our conveyancing team in Hull works from the same office, so one firm deals with the whole matter. We know the points that come up on Hull property, from shared rear access along a tenfoot to flood searches on low lying streets.

Office and home appointments

Our office is at 2 Parliament Street, Hull, HU1 2AP. If travel is difficult because of ill health or caring responsibilities, we can arrange a home visit across Hull and the surrounding area, and much of the work can be dealt with by telephone, post and email.
