Legal Advice In most circumstances, it is advisable for you to consult a solicitor both to relieve you of any worries and to take control of wills, problems of intestacy, outstanding debts, grants and letters of administration. A solicitor could save you a great deal of unnecessary trouble and eventually save you money. If it is known that a will was made, it is important that the contents be ascertained as soon as possible after death as it may contain instructions regarding the fuenral arrangements. A will may be among personal papers, or with the bank or solicitor for safe keeping. If a solicitor has been consulted by the deceased in the recent past it is important that you contact them without delay. If you have any difficulty in dealing with the deceased's property, possessions or guardianship of their children, get immediate advice from a solicitor or Citizens Advice Bureau. Get the leaflets Legal Aid Guide and Getting Legal Help from a Citizens Advice Bureau, public library, police station or a court, to find out if you can get legal aid. These places also hold a list of local solicitors which shows whether they take legal aid cases and if they specialise in probate work. Many solicitors are prepared to offer upto half an hour of legal advice for a small fee, some even offer a free initial consultation to discuss your situation.
