Hi !
I’m here in Canada which I am a caregiver and inherited a property in Macclesfield England hired a lawyer to resealed the probate she started 2022of February and just recently got the grant . I paid £ 11,917.50 I felt it’s a ripoff for just granting the probate not even transferred to my name .

The amounts you have paid during the course of this matter (and which relate to the reseal of the Canadian grant of probate only) are:

This is in line with the revised costs estimate provided by my email of 4 November 2022 and which you accepted on 7 November 2022. No more funds are required as the work is now complete. Instructions were accepted on the basis of a reseal of the Canadian grant of probate only and did not include any other matter – my emails of 4 November 2022, 14 April 2023 and latterly of 20 February 2024 confirm this. I deal mainly with estate administration and do not have the capacity to deal with the transfer of the title of the property; this is something you need to seek advice and assistance on from another solicitor and I await his/her details.
I need advise if I can complaint at ombudsman for ripping off resealing the granted probate without transferring in my name and over payment just to resealed probate got drag the time frame
April 2022 to April 2024.
thank you please advice.
Best regards,
