Kent
Sevenoaks is a prosperous market town in the heart of Kent, sitting on one of the main commuter corridors into London and surrounded by some of the most desirable countryside in the South East. Our GLCS Probate Services team advises Sevenoaks clients on wills, probate and lasting powers of attorney, combining genuine legal expertise with an accessible, fixed-fee service.

Sevenoaks has long been one of Kent's most desirable places to live, drawing both retirees and working families who value its excellent schools, green belt surroundings and fast rail links into London Bridge and Cannon Street. The town has a strong sense of community, and many of our clients have deep family ties to the area, with estates that reflect decades of careful financial planning and property ownership.
Making a Will is one of the most important legal decisions most people will ever make, yet surveys consistently show that the majority of adults in the UK do not have one in place. For Sevenoaks residents, a professionally drafted Will by a qualified solicitor ensures that your assets pass to your chosen beneficiaries, that guardians are named for any minor children, and that executors understand their responsibilities. We draft Wills that are clear, legally sound and reflect exactly what you want to happen.
When someone in Sevenoaks passes away, the probate process in Kent operates through the HMCTS online service for Grant of Probate applications, alongside the Maidstone Combined Court Centre for any matters that require a hearing. We manage all submissions, correspondence, and liaison with banks, investment managers and HMRC on behalf of the executor, so that the legal process is handled efficiently and the family can focus on grieving and remembering.
Lasting Powers of Attorney are an equally critical part of later-life planning. Sevenoaks has a significant retired population, and for many of those clients the question is not whether to set up an LPA but which type is most important to put in place first. We take time to explain the difference between a property and financial affairs LPA and a health and welfare LPA, so that you can make an informed decision about what is right for your situation.
Our service is entirely phone and video based where clients prefer, meaning Sevenoaks residents do not need to travel to meet us. We can gather instructions, take identification, and deliver completed documents by post. For those who prefer to visit, our Gatwick office is approximately 25 minutes by car via the M25 and A25 corridor.
GLCS Probate Services is regulated by the Council for Licensed Conveyancers and committed to fixed, transparent fees. Sevenoaks clients will never receive an unexpected invoice or be charged by the hour for work that was not agreed in advance.
