Why Executors choose to avoid solicitors

Most people handle simple estates themselves

Simple estates are usually manageable without a solicitor. You just need clear steps.


Legal fees can be unnecessary for simple cases

Solicitors help with complex estates. For simple ones, you can do most things yourself.


Probate isn’t always required

Many estates don’t need full probate, or only require a simple application. It pays to check.
