Issue-led pages for high-intent legal problems.
Each page explains what we prepare, what you send first and what you remain responsible for.
How we work
Preparation first. Cost control always.
We identify the document, issue, evidence and next step. We prepare and guide; you file, serve, send correspondence and attend unless another lawful arrangement is expressly agreed.
What to send first
- The document showing the deadline.
- The order, claim, application, tribunal direction or solicitor letter.
- The key evidence, not every historic file at first.
- What outcome you need and what has already happened.
Probate and estates
Estate disputes often need chronology, disclosure and document discipline before anything else.
Probate disputes can become expensive quickly because family history, grief, money and legal duties collide. The practical first step is often to work out what the dispute is really about: the will, the executor, the estate account, lifetime transfers, disclosure, administration delay, sale proceeds or costs.
Fenton Marsh helps by organising the documents, identifying the evidence, preparing correspondence, drafting issue-led statements and helping the client see what information is missing. That can be especially useful before deciding whether a solicitor retainer or counsel advice is proportionate.
We do not encourage emotional volume. We help convert concerns into dates, documents and questions that can be answered.
- Executor and administrator correspondence.
- Requests for estate accounts and disclosure.
- Chronologies of estate events and property sales.
- Witness statement preparation support.
- Evidence schedules for disputed transactions.
