About Requiem Law

Most people know a ‘requiem’ as a piece of music, used to remember those we have left behind. However, its origins can be traced back to the Latin word for rest or peace. These are key tenets of what we do, whether that is peace for the ones we have recently said goodbye to, or for the ones who are grieving.

When you have lost a loved one, you want the administrative process to be as painless and quick as possible… and that’s where we come in.

Requiem Law is a fully SRA-regulated law firm in Wokingham that specialises in estate administration (often simply called ‘probate’) – this is all we do. We don’t dabble in other areas of law, so our knowledge, systems and resources are all tuned to this particular arena of expertise. We are experts in testate estates (where the deceased left a Will) and intestacies (where there is no valid Will). For more information on the process, see our probate page.

All matters are handled personally by our specialist solicitor and Chartered Tax Adviser, Richard (you can read his full profile below). From the initial enquiry, to the final distribution, Richard will be your only point of contact.

All matters are charged on fixed-fee basis, as agreed before any work begins.

Unlike other law firms, we don’t charge on an ongoing, time basis (using ‘estimates’). And we certainly don’t charge more just because the estate is worth more… that’s not fair. We calculate our fees based on complexity only.
