We’re looking for a Probate Assistant to join our friendly and highly regarded Estates team at Cripps.
This is a great opportunity for someone with legal or professional services experience who enjoys working closely with clients and wants to develop their skills in probate and estate administration within a supportive, collaborative team.
You’ll play an important role in helping us deliver a high-quality service to clients during what is often a very sensitive time.
What the role involves
You’ll support our fee earners with the administration of estates, while also providing wider team and client support.
This includes things like:
- Assisting with the administration of deceased estates
- Preparing probate documentation and liaising with the Probate Registry
- Gathering asset and liability information and maintaining estate accounts
- Supporting with inheritance tax returns and liaising with HMRC
- Helping manage asset collection, liabilities and legacies
- Communicating with clients, introducers and professional advisers
- Providing administrative and diary support to the wider team
We’d love to hear from you if you:
- Have experience working in a legal or professional services environment
- Ideally have probate or estate administration experience (not essential)
- Are organised, proactive and detail-oriented
- Enjoy working with people and building strong client relationships
- Are confident using Word, Excel and CRM systems
- Thrive in a team environment but can also manage your own workload
Why join us?
At Cripps, we’re proud to be a B Corp law firm focused on doing business responsibly while delivering exceptional client service.
You’ll be joining a supportive and collaborative team, with plenty of opportunity to develop your experience and build your career.
