1Question

Tell me about a time you managed a particularly complex or emotionally sensitive probate matter — how did you handle the client relationship?

Situation: A recently bereaved widow instructed me to administer her husband's estate, which included a taxable estate worth £1.4 million, a discretionary trust and a disputed legacy from a stepchild. Task: I needed to progress the administration efficiently while managing heightened family tensions and the client's grief. Action: I scheduled fortnightly calls to keep the client informed, prepared a clear estate roadmap at the outset, and engaged a mediator early to resolve the stepchild's claim before it escalated to litigation. I also filed the IHT400 within 4 months to avoid interest accruing. Result: The estate was fully administered within 14 months, the disputed legacy was settled for £12,000 below the original claim, and the client referred two further matters to the firm within six months.

2Question

Tell me about a time you had to manage competing deadlines across multiple Private Client files. How did you prioritise?

Situation: During a particularly busy quarter I was carrying 52 active files, including 6 estates approaching the 6-month IHT payment deadline and 3 Court of Protection applications with imminent hearing dates. Task: I had to ensure no deadline was missed without compromising client service on lower-urgency matters. Action: I built a colour-coded deadline tracker in the case management system, delegated routine correspondence on straightforward probate files to a paralegal I supervised, and blocked two mornings per week exclusively for Court of Protection drafting. I flagged capacity concerns to my supervising partner two weeks in advance. Result: All 6 IHT payments were submitted on time, all 3 CoP hearings proceeded without adjournment, and I received a commendation in my quarterly review for file management.
