Probate extraction
We can obtain the Grant of Probate on behalf of the named Executor if there is a Will, or on behalf of the Administrator if there is no Will. This allows the Executor or Administrator to collect funds, pay any outstanding debts, and then distribute and/or transfer the remaining assets to the beneficiaries.
What is Probate extraction?
At Laurelo, we can obtain the Grant of Probate on behalf of the named Executor if there is a Will or Administrator if there is no Will. This allows the Executor and Administrator to collect in funds, pay any outstanding debts and then distribute and/or transfer the assets to the beneficiaries.
- Have an initial face to face consultation.
- Ask the Executor or Administrator to complete a Fact Find, which will ask for key information about the deceased’s assets and debts at the date of death.
- Use the Fact Find to prepare the paperwork for the Probate Registry and HMRC (as this is always required) for signature.
- Submit the application to the Probate Registry.
- Upon receipt of the Grant of Probate, we will send this to the Executor or Administrator to allow them to complete the process.

EXCELLENT Based on 118 reviews Posted on Google Clare SandersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our family needed some independent advice and Paul was exremely helpful, professional and efficient. We found Laurelo to be really ethical and would highly recommend them.Posted on Google Sian ReesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Laurelo have been amazingly helpful. We had been contacted by heir hunters who have appointed a very unhelpful solicitor. We approached Paul Radcliffe of Laurelo for independent advice and are so pleased we did. Paul and his colleagues have been kind, professional and supportive. We now understand the process and our rights so much better. I recommend Laurelo unreservedly and would use them again for any legal work. They had been highly recommended in the first place by a relative who had engaged them for a non estate related issue as they had been equally impressed.Posted on Google Jackie Van der BruggeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Laurelo Ltd for their support throughout the Probate process. Stef has been incredibly helpful and reassuring from start to finish. Nothing was ever too much trouble — she consistently went out of her way to answer any questions or resolve any issues, always responding promptly and with genuine care. Having this level of guidance made a difficult process far less stressful, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again should the need arise.Posted on Google Raymond BeuselinckTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to the team at Laurelo Solicitors, particularly Michael, for the advice and guidance he provided regarding my late mum’s probate. During what has been a very difficult and emotional time, Michael was professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, and patient. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of my questions, and made the process feel much less overwhelming. His kindness and expertise were greatly appreciated, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Laurelo Solicitors to anyone seeking probate or estate advice. Thank you again for your excellent service.Posted on Google christina glavinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
