NewLaw Solicitors (Wills and Probate) Reviews 

The process of obtaining the grant of probate went smoothly in general and I found the solicitors to be professional and able to answer any questions I may have had. They communicated well . Overall I am pleased with the service provided and would recommend them for probate services

We had a fantastic experience with Newlaw ,our case was being managed by Jackie Rice who did an amazing job of probate and sorting out all the estate of my Late mother and we would 100% recomend them to anyone needing this service .
Jackie was always available to help if we had any questions or queries .

Efficient and professional
From the initial contact, everything was explained clearly, including the expected time line. Queries were quickly responded to, and while I had some reservations about doing everything online, it proved to be very efficient. The only hiccup came when trying to provide identification documentation for a beneficiary living in Sweden. Otherwise, everything went smoothly, at far less cost than conventional solicitors

Katherine provided us with a quick professional, informative and understanding service.

We would recommend NewLaw Solicitors to family and friends in the future.

My link support in particular, Alexander (Probate legal assistant), has been the most sincere, empathetic and clear communicator through all the probate process - a credit to his role. It has been a difficult time dealing with all the loss and other challenges, with some awful communications from other companies that add to the burden of bereavement. I have felt supported, safe and felt trust with Newlaw team. Thankyou!

Celeste was absolutely amazing. She answered all my questions and has been very patient and kind. I would definitely recommend NewLaw. They made a difficult time a little bit easier.

I really enjoyed working with NewLaw, they are specialists in probate, so I felt like my aunt's estate was handled really well. My case manager was great and I had support from other team members too.

Probate is quite a lengthy process, but they kept me updated as much as possible and answered all my questions.

I would definitely recommend them. The fact that it can all be done digitally is so helpful and much quicker than an archaic solicitor...not to mention the price! My local solicitors quoted me three times as much!!!!

A really good cost for a great service, Thank you!!

Mia took over the case at short notice, went through the file and quickly got on top of things. She scheduled a telephone call within a day and subsequently arranged an interim payment from the estate on the same day. She is kind, understanding and responds to queries very quickly. We are very grateful for her help and support during a difficult time.

After some initial teething problems, the process went very smoothly. I was kept up to date with progress and the final Grant of Probate was approved earlier than anticipated.

Handled the probate with ease and really kept me informed all the way through the process. With a fast turn round, earlier than expected it was great service all round, thanks

Jackie Rice was fantastic at getting the job done. Jackie replied to all my questions,explained things really well and was very patient. The phone call we had was great. Jackie was easy to talk to and made me confident in letting her deal with my probate.The pricing was very fair. No hidden costs
I would recommend New Law

Kirsty Hopkins was excellent. We received a very high standard of service throughout the probate of my father and she was able to use her technical skills to help us navigate a very challenging time.

Overall, I think the service provided was excellent value for money and I would recommend NewLaw and Kirsty in particular.

So glad I found NewLaw after being messed about by other law companies and ridiculous high fees to do a Grant of Probate .. the service I received from Cristina took all the pressure and stress off me and all for excellent value for money..

Kirsty and the team at New Law have been incredibly easy to deal with during the whole probate process. It has taken a lot of stress off of myself and the rest of the family involved.

Farewill pasted my late Father probate…
Farewill pasted my late Father probate onto new law and it’s gone from bad to worse from 17/09/2021. New Law didn't Started prose till 2024 February nearly 3 year after the police had contacted New Law .
It is the responsibility of executors and administrators to preserve and accurately value the assets of a deceased person's estate. However, you have prevented me from accessing the property to maintain it, repair the gutters, and manage the overgrown grass, which has reached a height of two meters. This neglect led to a burglary at my next-door neighbor's house while they were home during the day.

When I changed the locks because I was denied access to the property, the first set of police officers arrived. My neighbors informed the officers that I needed access to my family's home, to which the officers responded that this was a civil matter to be handled in court and not a matter for police intervention. After the second police visit, my neighbor contacted me urgently. At that point, I was again denied access to the property for maintenance. The police officer involved assumed he knew all about probate, but I informed him that my sister did not have the authority to prevent my access because she had not been granted probate.

After six unsuccessful attempts to reach your office, I handed the phone to the police officer, who eventually spoke with one of your colleagues and confirmed that the probate application had not been submitted. The officer felt embarrassed upon learning this. I was then asked to produce bills to prove that I had been paying the property's expenses, which I had done during the first year, but the bills were stored in my flat, from which I am now being evicted.

On top of this, as of May 31, 2023, the interest rate for inheritance tax increased to 7%. Then, on July 11, 2023, it rose again to 7.5%, more than double the rate from July 2022. This increased interest is now applicable to overdue IHT payments, which has been caused solely by your delay in submitting the probate application. All you have done is lie and make excuses, despite the fact that probate was not even required for my father’s estate. My uncle, who passed away a month later without a will, was granted probate within three months, and my aunt's probate process was similarly straightforward.

Your office's delays and errors have caused significant stress and financial loss. My sister and I were misled, and you made me the scapegoat for your incompetence. I have seen the probate forms filled out with my father's name listed as the beneficiary instead of mine, as was appropriate. Even my sister sent me a copy of these incorrectly filled forms, which listed both her name and my father's name as beneficiaries, excluding me.

Furthermore, my sister sent me a written message via WhatsApp, suggesting that I should apply for probate myself. This is unacceptable given that over 50% of reviews claim your firm is incompetent in completing forms accurately, leading to delays and significant errors such as not even getting names correct. Your actions have only exacerbated the situation, causing unnecessary delays and financial harm due to the rising interest rates on overdue inheritance tax.

I expect immediate rectification of this situation, including the proper submission of the probate application and an explanation of how you intend to address the financial losses incurred due to your delays. This matter needs urgent attention to prevent further harm and ensure that my father's estate is handled appropriately.

Very quick and great service from Emma!

Anita from New Law was very helpful with all the information she gave me after my uncle died. Even though I didn't have to do probate in the end, she gave me advice on my next steps. Will definitely return to this company if I should need them in the future

We recently had our wills prepared by Daniel Price in the Private Client team. Dan was very informative, helpful and provided us with in-depth advice. We would recommend NewLaw’s services to friends and family. Thank you

Probate can be a minefield for the uninitiated. However, for me, NewLaw made the complete process stressless and easy to progress to an expedient end. Well done "Team NewLaw."
