East Sussex
Brighton is one of the South East's most vibrant cities, with a diverse population that ranges from young professionals and creative entrepreneurs to established families and a significant retired community living in the Regency squares, the Lanes and the surrounding coastal suburbs. GLCS Probate Services advises Brighton clients from our Gatwick office just 30 minutes up the A23, with phone and video appointments as standard.

Brighton has grown from a Regency seaside resort to a thriving city with a significant economy and a property market that has attracted buyers from across the UK and beyond. For many Brighton residents, property is the largest single asset in the estate, and ensuring it passes correctly on death is a primary concern when making a Will.
We draft Wills for Brighton clients that address all the key questions clearly: who inherits the property, what happens to jointly owned assets, who should act as executor, and whether any trust provisions are appropriate given the family's circumstances. Brighton's high proportion of unmarried cohabiting couples is particularly relevant, as cohabitants have no automatic right to inherit under the intestacy rules, making a professionally drafted Will even more essential.
For probate matters, Brighton is served by the Brighton District Probate Registry and the Brighton Justice Centre. We manage the complete probate administration process on behalf of executors, handling all HMRC submissions, liaising with banks and financial institutions, and making final distributions to beneficiaries once the Grant of Probate has been issued.
Lasting Powers of Attorney are vital for Brighton residents who want to ensure that the people they trust can manage their affairs if capacity is lost. We set up both the financial and health LPA, handle registration with the Office of the Public Guardian, and advise clients on who to appoint and what checks the system puts in place to protect them.
