Join the UK's fastest-growing probate business at Dignity Legal Services (formerly Farewill Probate), where we are combining technology, compassion, and serious legal expertise to reshape the probate industry.
This is a rare moment to join - not as a passenger, but as a key part of what we're building.
Why This Role Is Different:
Most law firms move slowly, relying on legacy systems and cumbersome processes. At Dignity, we're deliberately building something different - investing in technology and smarter ways of working so our team can focus on the work that really matters.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Supporting with a varied caseload of probate and estate administration matters, from simple through to high-value and complex.
- Communicating directly with clients as we take them through the process, setting clear expectations and delivering a world-class service.
- Drafting and reviewing legal documents: IHT forms, grant applications, estate accounts.
- Ensuring compliance with probate law, SRA regulations and internal governance.
- Mentoring our apprentices, administrators and paralegals.
- Collaborating cross-functionally with product, tech and customer service to improve service delivery.
- Leading or contributing to process-improvement initiatives, including legal-tech and AI integration.
- Representing the legal team in cross-departmental projects and client escalations.
Who We're Looking For:
You're a qualified Solicitor, Paralegal or Chartered Legal Executive with solid experience in probate. You're comfortable managing complex cases independently, and you're energised - not daunted - by the idea of working in a business that's still evolving. You communicate with confidence and empathy in equal measure.
If you're the kind of person who wants to look back in five years and say, 'I helped build that', we'd like to hear from you.
What We Offer:
- Annual salary of up to £60,000 depending on experience
- 25 Days Holiday + Bank Holidays
- X2 Life Assurance, Pension Scheme
- Hybrid flexible working (3 days in our Maidenhead office)
- Genuine career progression and mentorship opportunities
- A chance to make a meaningful contribution to people's lives and deaths
