Probate solicitors in Reading

If you are dealing with a Reading estate without a will, our Maidenhead office can explain the application and inheritance position. First establish whether a valid will has genuinely been ruled out, including checks of papers and possible storage arrangements.

Without a will, the intestacy rules determine entitlement and the order of people who may apply for letters of administration. Family agreement alone does not replace those rules. An unmarried partner does not inherit automatically under them, although separate advice about potential claims may be relevant.

Bring a family outline and information about surviving relatives as well as the assets. We identify the appropriate applicant and the documents needed before an application is prepared. Establishing those points early helps avoid an administration built on the wrong assumption about who inherits.

Appointments at our Maidenhead office, or by phone or video. We serve Reading; this is not a separate office address.

Maidenhead office: 47 High Street, Maidenhead SL6 1JT. Contact us to arrange your appointment before travelling. Bring the will if you have it, the death certificate and the asset information already available.
