The Court of Probate Act was established in 1857. The Principle Probate Registry was established in January 1858. When you stop and consider this, it becomes apparent just how long this piece of UK law has been not just running, but thriving. With the legal institution being as established as it is, not often will a new service be introduced that makes any kind of a positive and / or widespread impact. Enter Darren Leggett. A name most solicitors and probate professionals working within the private client sector are aware of. Darren pioneered services designed specifically to support with the property part of probate. Collaborating with names such as Gill Steel, compliance and the legal obligations that needed to be met were considered and written within the SLA which guarentees high level minimal standards are always met. After more than 11yrs since successfully building relationships with firms and organisations of all shapes and sizes across the whole of the UK, Darren has also been recognised by The Law Society who have approached him to provide 'Thought Leadership Articles' on this subject. "I am both flattered and honoured to be able to write for The Law Society, what an achievement hey! The most satisfying thing for me though, is seeing my vision become such an important part of the process, and makes such a positive impact on the lives of the solicitors, probate practitioners, executors and beneficiaries of the estates we assist with. That is what PLG was established to do". #probate #property #team #plg

What are the SRA's 'fair treatment rules'? The SRA introduced ‘fair treatment rules’ into its Code of Conduct in 2023 which apply to all SRA-registered lawyers working at law firms. It states that “You treat colleagues fairly and with respect. You do not bully or harass them or discriminate unfairly against them. If you are a manager (such as a partner or director) you challenge behaviour that does not meet this standard’’. The SRA is recommending that all senior leaders and managers are aware of the steps they must take as individuals to challenge behaviour that doesn’t comply with the new rules. This is why there's a need for law firms to review their law firm culture and put positive measures in place.
