⚖️ SOLICITOR-LED | PROCEDURAL MILESTONES & FIXED PRICING

A Deterministic, Out-of-Court Resolution Model

No hourly billing. No open-ended litigation. You pay strictly for procedural movement.

Probate friction is administrative, not litigious. When an estate stalls, it is always one of two problems:

  • A caveat freezing the Grant before issue
  • A non-caveat deadlock before or after the Grant

Human Law steps in, takes over the dispute, and enforces statutory countdowns to deliver resolution — out of court, at fixed fees, with complete clarity.

* 100% of your £400 audit fee rolls forward into subsequent milestones if instructed within 14 days.

Who We Help

Appointed Fiduciaries

Executors

The Deterministic Pathway

Universal Diagnostic Step

1. Stage 01 — Factual Audit (£400 + VAT)

A 30-minute solicitor consultation + 2-page written audit. We identify the single bottleneck, quantify holding costs, and confirm the correct procedural route. 100% of the £400 fee rolls forward if instructed within 14 days.

⭐ Stage 01 Determines Your Route

Every matter begins with the Stage 01 Factual Audit. This single diagnostic meeting identifies the exact procedural route required to resolve your situation. After Stage 01, your matter is routed into one of three pathways:

  • Caveat Resolution — if the Grant is frozen
  • Deadlock Resolution — if the estate is stalled before or after the Grant
  • Structural Clarity Report™ — if you are a private client team or IFA managing a contentious bottleneck

You do not fund every pathway. You only fund the specific milestone your audit confirms is necessary. This ensures complete fee certainty and prevents unnecessary legal spend.

Pre-Grant Blocks

2. Caveat Resolution (Zone 1)

For estates blocked before the Grant. A linear, fixed-fee ladder designed to clear the register quickly and safely. You only pay for the exact procedural step required. Most caveats collapse at the first milestone.

Pre & Post-Grant Standoffs

3. Deadlock Resolution (Zone 2)

For pre-grant and post-grant standoffs. Modular enforcement tracks compel action, enforce transparency, and unblock distribution. Each track has a fixed fee and a clear statutory lever.

Key Guarantees

Fee Certainty

100% Fee Rollover

Your Stage 01 fee credits fully into Zone 1 or Zone 2 execution if instructed within 14 days.

Zero Waiting Cost

£0/Month Dormancy Shield

You are never billed for waiting time during Probate Registry delays, medical record extraction, or counterparty silence.

Fiduciary Alignment

Structured Administration Costs

All milestone actions are itemised and aligned with personal representative duties to support reimbursement as an administration expense.

Operating Model Scope

Clear Boundaries — What We Don’t Do

To maintain fixed-fee certainty and rapid turnaround, Human Law does not provide:

  • Court litigation or trial representation
  • Acting as solicitor on the court record
  • Accepting formal court service
  • Routine grant administration or conveyancing
  • Detailed forensic bank reconciliation

* If a contested court trial becomes unavoidable, your file is handed cleanly to a litigation partner with your evidential blueprint already complete.
