How to find a solicitor?

[AnotherBoredOne]

I am living overseas and we have two Uk properties and a business. My DH passed end of last year and I now need to sort the will and probate etc.
How do I find someone who can work with me being overseas? And not rip me off.
All in London

I'm sorry for your loss.

TV Edwards are good

The Law Society has a Wills and Inheritance Quality Scheme

Moose what is that?
Please ignore my ignorance.

It’s an accreditation scheme. Solicitors have to meet certain criteria to join the panel.

You can search here by practice area / location: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk/

I have had great advice from Daniel Berry at https://www.vincentsykes.co.uk

Really very helpful fast turn around and absolutely knows his stuff. Good luck

Look for a solicitor with a STEP (society of trusts and estate practitioners) diploma. Also make sure it's someone with experience of cross border estates as there may be some quite technical tax issues.

Thank you everyone
