Probate Assistant

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.
