Why firms choose us

We’re clear on costs and realistic on time. Our focus is on best practice, risk mitigation, and maximising estate values for beneficiaries.

Cross-border estates

When it comes to cross-border assets, we boast a global reach with years of expertise. We can navigate complex legal paperwork and processes overseas, with specialist experience in North American assets. We’re able to look after the transfer and sale of US and Canadian shareholdings, obtain Medallion Signature Guarantees, assist with IRS applications to obtain Federal Transfer Certificates (Form 5173), and help to reclaim escheated assets.

We don’t just cover North America. We maintain a network of cross-border specialists in multiple jurisdictions, meaning we can help you navigate complex cases all over the world.

Probate genealogy

As one of the few probate genealogy providers that urge caution in the use of contingency fees, we simply do not offer them. We calculate our fees based on the work involved in what we do rather than the value of the estate. This means that we work for you to ensure that beneficiaries receive their inheritance quickly and in full.

Crucially, we’re built to handle the niche elements of complex estate administration cases. We identify and verify beneficiaries, complete family trees, and handle international elements, so you can move forward with confidence.

A genuinely solicitor-first approach

We understand the pressure you’re under, between deadlines, risk, and client expectations. Everything we do is designed to make your role easier. Our processes are transparent, our reports clear and structured, and our communication is fast and responsive. We work as an extension of your team, with a proven track record you can rely on.

  • Save time
