Include information such as the date of death, the will’s existence or location, executor details, disputes among beneficiaries, or questions about inheritance tax. BriefBase structures your input into a concise, factual account to support probate applications, executor duties, or claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975.

Important Questions About Wills, Trusts, and Probate
Common UK questions on inheritance disputes, executors, and probate delays.
Prepare the will, probate details, estate timeline, and communication between beneficiaries and executors. BriefBase helps organise this clearly. For most disputes, separate facts from assumptions and keep communication in writing wherever possible. A clean chronology, objective summary, and evidence index can significantly improve first legal discussions. BriefBase can help organise the information, but formal legal advice should come from a qualified solicitor.
How BriefBase helps
BriefBase is an AI legal guide for the UK. It doesn’t give legal advice, it helps you make sense of your situation and produce a structured brief a solicitor can use immediately. Our guidance layers translate everyday language into the facts a lawyer needs: who, what, when, where, impact, and evidence.
Detail matters. The richer your description, the sharper our prompts and the clearer your brief. If we believe you don’t need a solicitor, we’ll say so and point you to reputable resources. We’re GDPR-compliant, insured, trademarked and a registered UK company.
What to include
You’ll leave with a concise, solicitor-facing PDF: a summary of issue, timeline, legal context, options/risks, evidence list and suggested next steps, plus our standard disclaimer. Save it, email it, whatever works best for you.
