Probate Solicitors

Navigating probate can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to go through it alone.
Probate is the legal process of managing a deceased person’s estate. It involves settling debts, paying taxes, and distributing assets according to their will or the law. If a will exists, probate confirms its validity, and the executor (or administrator) manages the process.
We can connect you with experienced local solicitors who specialise in probate, offering expert guidance to ensure the legal process is handled smoothly and sensitively.

I can't express in words how brilliant, kind, thoughtful Drew and Son have been to myself and my family on losing my dad. From the first call I made on the evening he passed to every small detail we wanted. This family run business is truly amazing. If I could give more stars I would. Thank you Steve Harry and Karen.

The Drew family provided an excellent service. Highly responsive to queries etc, made a good recommendation for the crematorium, and were happy for us to opt out of some of the more expensive elements of the service that we didn't feel were necessary (though their pricing compares very favourably with other FDs - they weren't the first we looked at). My step-mother was also very happy with the service and described them as very professional, caring and discreet. Their celebrant, Sue, additionally did a great job, and her work is clearly a passion. She was kind enough to drive us to the funeral venue in advance of the service in her free time (not something her modest fee covers).

Drew and Son have been absolutely brilliant. I can not praise them enough. They have guided me every step of the way and made this very difficult time easier for me. Nothing has been too much trouble from beginning to end.

As a professional Funeral Celebrant I spent time researching to find the ideal Independent Family Funeral Directors to partner as I was keen to work with a truly family owned business. I came across Drew and Son based in Essex, arranged a meeting and was so impressed with their level of service, attention to detail, their whole attitude to the way they engage with families in such a personal, dignified and respectful way that I am now a committed member of the Drew and Son funeral team.

Arranging a funeral for loved ones has to be one of the saddest times for anyone. Drew and Sons could not have made these arrangements any better. Their ability to make me snd my family feel comfortable and at ease at such a painful time , was second to none. They were professional whilst at the same time so loving and caring we couldn’t of asked for anything else.of them I would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat. Our sincere gratitude to the Drew family for looking after us. Thank you all so very much x Toni Hanshaw
