Amazing experience
After placing an enquiry, I received a call 20 minutes later, and then 2 hours later, I had a solicitor assigned to me. They were absolutely incredible right from the word go - amazing and very prompt with replies, answering all my questions and keeping the process moving. We finally completed today and I am so unbelievably happy. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Lawhive again in the future if needed.

First class service
I initially made an online enquiry about a tricky conveyancing matter and received an immediate call back. They understood straight away what was needed and gave me a quote that was very reasonable. It was such a pleasure to find someone who was cheerful, professional and completely reassuring as I’d been getting quite anxious about the sale of my house. The service Lawhive has provided is absolutely first class and I cannot recommend them enough.

We used Lawhive for our conveyancing needs and our solicitor was very helpful, patient and informative. She helped us with our needs with prompt responses and provided a very efficient service.

Great service when you need clarity and calm
Our solicitor was warm, friendly and provided crystal clear communication. A lot of conveyancers assume customers know everything about the process already, so it was really appreciated to hear each stage included in the price given.

Legally, you don’t need a solicitor to manage an estate, however, a specialist solicitor can use their knowledge and expertise to ensure the correct level of tax is paid and that any will disputes or legal claims against an estate are handled correctly.
A solicitor can also take the pressure of executor duties off your shoulders and allow you to grieve for your loved one without the legal responsibility of managing their estate.

An expert estate management solicitor provides many benefits to a personal representative. Primary amongst these is the ability to offer clear and impartial advice to executors and administrators.
A knowledgeable lawyer can also offer advice on probate and wills, and guide you on what to do when there is no will.
As a personal representative, you can be held liable for mistakes, therefore, instructing a trained solicitor who understands the intricacies of the estate management process can help manage an estate in line with the law.
You don’t need to hire an estate management solicitor for every estate, but in some circumstances, the guidance of a professional solicitor can be beneficial.
