LECTURE: SQE 1 – Wills and the Administration of Estates

Introduction

This course provides candidates with the core legal principles and rules to be tested by the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE1) Functioning Legal Knowledge (FLK) assessment. Candidates will be taken through an outline of the law, procedure and processes involved in drafting and interpreting a will, the functions and responsibilities of personal representatives, and how an estate is managed and taxed.

Candidates will study how to make a claim against an estate, using the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975 and on professional conduct points which arise most frequently when dealing with probate work.

Candidates will be able to test their knowledge by joining the MOCKS WORKSHOP: Wills and the Administration of Estate on 21 May 2023 practising MCQs together with feedback and tips.
