Probate
Engaging traditional firms for Probate and Estate Administration can often mean open-ended, high hourly fees. Grandela Genealogy offers a far more cost-effective, fully managed solution. We keep your costs down by focusing exclusively on the factual, administrative, and genealogical support required for the application. This ensures the highest standards of precision and due diligence. Should your case require specialist work—such as formal legal advice, litigation, or complex tax strategies—we can seamlessly instruct a qualified solicitor on your behalf from our trusted network, or liaise directly with your own preferred firm. This gives you a single point of contact and ensures you only pay specialist legal rates when absolutely necessary.
Our Managing Director is a qualified Associate of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP), and our paralegal and chartered accountancy qualifications underpin our broad, expert knowledge base.

“I would like to thank Grandela Genealogy Ltd in the work they did on my late father’s estate. We were not expecting anything but were very grateful in what we received. They did a remarkable job and would strongly recommend.”
