    I am joint executor of my Dads will with my mother. I looked at statement of affairs SA2 and the procedure for grant of Probate and I feel we should be able to complete. We received an estimate of costs from a solicitor and the quote is approx 16k.

    the estate includes property and all beneficiaries are happy for us to proceed with SA2 and Probate. Im not sure what happens after the probate is granted will the solicitor then look after the transfer of assets to beneficiaries ? I would appreciate all advise

    thanks

    Depending on what the assets are, you may be able to transfer them without involving a solicitor - stocks, shares, cash at bank, etc. But, for land, you will need a solicitor.

    16k? I know solicitors like their charges and maybe I'm naive but I find that amount a bit shocking.
