Do I need a Solicitor to deal with an estate?
When it comes to dealing with a deceased person's estate, no one is keen to pay legal costs where they can be avoided. If the estate you are dealing with as Executor is relatively straightforward you may feel confident in dealing with matters yourself. Often the circumstances are such that a "D.I.Y" approach is not advisable.
