When the land isn't straightforward

A written offer with a clear basis helps everyone see the facts. Each beneficiary can take their own advice.

Common questions
Can executors sell land before probate is granted?
They can agree a sale and start the legal work, but most solicitors won't exchange contracts until the grant is issued, and completion needs it.
Do all beneficiaries have to agree?
Executors make the decision, but they must act in the beneficiaries' interests. Many involve beneficiaries to avoid disputes. Take legal advice if there's disagreement.
Will you pressure us to decide quickly?
No. Take the time you need and take independent advice.
Do you cover the villages around Long Eaton?
Yes. Villages between Long Eaton, Ilkeston and Nottingham often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
