Losing a loved one is difficult enough without having to navigate unfamiliar legal responsibilities.

Our latest article breaks down what probate actually involves, the difference between a Grant of Probate and Letters of Administration, what happens if there's no will, and whether you really need a solicitor.

Dealing with probate after losing someone is hard enough without also having to work out where to start.

Do you actually need a Grant of Probate? What happens if there's no will? How long is this all going to take?

We're answering five of the questions we get asked most often, covering everything from Grants of Probate and intestacy, to realistic timescales and whether you really need a solicitor at all. Swipe through to find out where you stand.

If you're dealing with an estate and need guidance, get in touch, we can help with as much or as little of the process as you need. Click the link in the comments.

If you've come across the phrase "modern method of auction" while searching for property, here's what it actually means.

Unlike a traditional auction, where a hammer falls in a room and you're legally bound to complete within around 28 days, the modern method is an online, conditional process, often described as "eBay for houses," where bidding runs over a longer period, typically around 30 days.

Once a bid is accepted, the buyer pays a non-refundable reservation fee to secure the property, and both sides then have significantly longer to complete, typically 56 days rather than 28, which gives buyers more realistic time to arrange a mortgage.

It can suit sellers looking for more certainty than a standard sale, and buyers who want the structure of an auction without the pressure of an unconditional, same-day exchange. As with any auction purchase, it's worth taking legal advice early, since the legal pack and conditions are usually set before bidding opens.

Buying at auction, modern or traditional? We can help. Get in touch: https://www.marsons.co.uk/services/conveyancing/buying-at-auction

Conveyancing covers far more than just buying or selling a home, and the right legal support looks different depending on your situation. Our conveyancing team covers:

Buying and selling homes, so we can take the stress out of the legal side of your move.

New build homes where off-plan purchases and tight developer deadlines call for specific experience.

Buying at auction where your bid legally binds you the moment it's accepted, so speed and preparation matter.

Lease extensions, a common need across London and the South East, where so many properties have been converted into flats.

Buying your freehold so you and your fellow flat owners can join together to purchase the freehold of your building where you're eligible.

Whichever of these applies to you, our team is here to guide you through it clearly and efficiently.

Dealing with an estate is time consuming even when everything goes to plan. It's much worse when something goes wrong.

Our team can help with three types of dispute:

The Will might not be valid. This can happen when it wasn't properly signed or witnessed, or where it's unclear whether the deceased was of sound mind when it was made.

The Will was poorly drafted and doesn't reflect what the deceased actually wanted. If it was drafted by a solicitor or "will writer," we can help with a claim for professional negligence.

The Will, or the intestacy rules, don't make adequate provision for a spouse, civil partner or other dependants. Under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975, the courts can award reasonable provision to those left out of a Will, or who didn't receive enough under a Will or intestacy, in certain circumstances.

If you think there may be a dispute about the validity of a Will, or you were expecting to receive more from the estate of a loved one, get in touch. We're here to help.

The purchase price is rarely the full cost of buying a development site.

Our latest article covers what to check before exchanging contracts, from planning obligations and restrictive covenants to overage provisions that could cost hundreds of thousands of pounds down the line.

Partnership or LLP? The structure you choose affects far more than just paperwork.

It shapes your personal liability if things go wrong, how you're taxed, what you need to file publicly, and how easy the business is to run day to day.

Get it wrong, and it can be costly, and hard to unwind, further down the line.

We're answering five of the questions we get asked most, from what actually happens if a business fails owing money, to which structure fits which type of business.

Planning use and restrictions affect how a property can be occupied, altered or developed, and they're an important consideration in both residential and commercial transactions.

These issues are usually identified through searches, title documents and planning history, rather than requiring standalone planning advice.

Understanding them helps buyers and occupiers assess whether a property is genuinely suitable for their intended use.

Assumptions about permitted use or future development can cause real difficulty later on, since restrictions may limit alterations, changes of use or expansion, all of which can affect value or plans.

Identifying these points early means they can be addressed before you're committed, not after.
