Sarah Allen, a solicitor with many years’ experience, heads our probate department.
Most wills are straight forward but making an appointment for advice on preparing your will may highlight areas where we feel that specialist advice is required and you can rest assured that we are able to provide that advice.
Failure to take good timely advice may lead to the Inland Revenue taking a larger slice of your estate than you would have wanted.
For advice on will disputes, see our dispute resolution page.
The Law Society’s Wills and Inheritance Quality scheme (WIQS) provides a quality standard for wills, probate and estate administration practices, by requesting that firms adhere to the scheme Protocol.
The Client Charter on this page is designed to set client expectations on what they can expect from a WIQS accredited firm.
Tallents Solicitors in Newark, Southwell and Mansfield are proud to have achieved the high standards of practice and integrity required to become accredited with the Law Society’s Wills and Inheritance Quality Scheme.
The Scheme’s logo is your guarantee that our practice will provide high quality will drafting, probate and estate administration services.
We will carry out our work for you in accordance with the good practice standards of the Law Society’s Wills and Inheritance Protocol.
This means that we will:
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your hard work during this challenging time for our family. It has certainly taken the load of our shoulders with knowing the work has been carried out so diligently by yourself.

Thank you Emma for your help with all the arrangements regarding the estate. Towards the end of her life she desperately needed peace of mind which you helped her to achieve.

Everything about your work for my mother has been superlative, from the original POA’s and Will to the selling of the house, and everything in between.

Always had an excellent service from all the people that I have dealt with at Tallents Solicitors. Conveyancy, Wills and Probate have always been dealt with in a professional and efficient manner.

Our family chose Tallents Solicitors to represent them in their Will and specifically requested Sarah Allen to support the family through the Lasting Power of Attorney processes. Sarah was great, she was a complete rock and was always at the end of the phone no matter how trivial or serious the situation was throughout such a hard and vulnerable time of our lives. Highly recommend these solicitors, thanks for everything.
