Probate law

An introduction to Quastels

Our private wealth team offers expert probate advice. We are skilled at guiding our clients through every aspect of the probate process, from securing the Grant of Probate to managing tax obligations.

Delivering confident legal advice at every step, we recognise the additional complexity that comes with high-value estates, such as the accurate valuation of complex assets, including international property, businesses that continue to generate income, and trust structures – all of which require expert handling.

We are particularly well-versed in cross-border probate, ensuring international assets are efficiently managed while navigating the legal and tax regulations across multiple jurisdictions. Whether dealing with overseas property or obtaining legal recognition of foreign documents, our global expertise ensures that every detail is managed seamlessly.

When disputes arise, we provide practical and strategic solutions that protect our clients’ interests and seek a swift, decisive conclusion. Above all, our focus is on delivering strategic, forward-thinking solutions that not only safeguard wealth but also provide clarity and reassurance throughout the estate administration process.
