Why Celebrating Excellence In Probate Matters
When you think of an awards ceremony, you might picture glamorous outfits, sparkling trophies, fabulous entertainment and a room full of people celebrating. And while the Probate Industry Awards certainly deliver on all those fronts, there's something much more meaningful at the heart of the Probies.
It's about recognising the people, businesses and innovations that make a real difference in the probate sector every single day.
An Industry That Deserves the Spotlight
The probate industry is one that touches countless lives, often at some of the most challenging and emotional times. From solicitors and probate practitioners to genealogists, estate administrators, researchers and technology providers, our sector is filled with dedicated professionals working tirelessly behind the scenes.
Their expertise helps families navigate complex processes, provides reassurance when it's needed most and ensures that estates are handled with professionalism, compassion and care. Yet, despite the importance of this work, it's not an industry that regularly finds itself in the spotlight.
And that's exactly why the Probate Industry Awards exist.
Celebrating Excellence, Innovation and Dedication
The Probies are about so much more than taking home a trophy. They're an opportunity to shine a light on exceptional achievements, recognise individuals who consistently go above and beyond, and celebrate businesses that are raising standards across the industry.
Whether it's a team delivering outstanding client service, a company embracing innovative technology or an individual whose dedication has made a lasting impact, every achievement deserves recognition. Awards provide a platform to share those success stories, inspire others and remind the wider industry just how much there is to be proud of.
And let's not forget the positive impact recognition can have on the people receiving it. Being shortlisted or winning an award can boost morale, strengthen professional reputations and give teams a well-deserved moment to celebrate their hard work.
Bringing the Probate Community Together
One of the most special things about the Probate Industry Awards is the opportunity to bring professionals from across the sector together under one roof.
In an industry where collaboration, trust and relationships are so important, events like the #Probies offer a chance to reconnect with familiar faces, build new relationships and celebrate shared successes. It's a rare opportunity to step away from the day-to-day demands of the profession and appreciate the incredible community we're all part of.
And, of course, there's nothing wrong with enjoying a little glamour along the way!
Looking Ahead to an Even Brighter Future
As the probate sector continues to evolve, recognising excellence becomes more important than ever. New technologies, changing client expectations and fresh approaches to traditional processes are helping shape the future of the industry. By celebrating those leading the way, we encourage innovation, promote best practice and inspire the next generation of probate professionals.
Because when we recognise excellence, we don't just celebrate what has already been achieved. We help set the standard for what comes next.
Here's to the People Behind the Profession
At the heart of every successful industry are its people. The Probate Industry Awards are our opportunity to say thank you, to celebrate remarkable achievements and to give this hardworking sector the recognition it truly deserves.
So here's to the innovators, the problem-solvers, the dedicated teams and the unsung heroes who make a difference every day.
The spotlight belongs to you!Â

Their specialist knowledge, practical experience and commitment to supporting those involved in probate make them a natural fit for the 2027 Probies Knowledge Partner role.
A Partnership Beyond Awards Night
We all know the Probies love a little glitz and glamour, but behind the celebrations lies a shared passion for championing the people, businesses and expertise that make our industry so special.
And that's exactly what makes this partnership so exciting.
The Knowledge Partner role creates an opportunity for Provira to contribute valuable insights and expertise to the wider professional conversation, helping to inform and engage the probate and private client community throughout the year.
Sharing Expertise, Championing Excellence
The probate industry is constantly evolving, and the importance of sharing knowledge, exploring new solutions and supporting professional collaboration has never been greater.
With their specialist experience in inheritance and estate funding, Provira brings a valuable perspective to conversations surrounding the financial challenges that beneficiaries and executors may face.
Through this partnership, we're looking forward to creating opportunities to share that knowledge with the wider Probies community and shine a spotlight on the expertise that helps move our industry forward.
"We're delighted to be returning to the Probate Industry Awards for 2027 in the new role of Knowledge Partner. Having supported the awards in 2026, we're excited to build on that relationship and contribute to the wider conversations taking place across the probate and private client sector.

Keeping the Probies Party Going with Probate.Auction
The awards may finish… but the night certainly doesn’t! 🪩✨Â
We’re delighted to announce Probate.Auction as the official After Party Sponsor of the Probate Industry Awards 2027.
Once the trophies have been presented, the winners celebrated and the formalities are complete, there’s only one thing left to do: hit the dancefloor.
And in 2027, Probate.Auction will be helping us keep the celebrations going long into the night.
Property expertise dedicated to probate
Probate.Auction is the UK’s first and largest nationwide auctioneer dedicated specifically to probate property, working with solicitors, executors, charities and other professionals responsible for the sale of property within an estate.
It was created around a simple idea: probate property often comes with its own challenges and deserves specialist expertise rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
From straightforward residential property to more complicated estates, unusual assets and commercial property, the team brings together probate knowledge and auction expertise to provide a dedicated route to sale.
That specialist focus has made Probate.Auction an increasingly familiar name across the probate profession, so we’re particularly pleased to have them joining us for its biggest celebration.
Keeping the Probies party going 🪩
The Probate Industry Awards are about recognising the people, teams and businesses doing exceptional work across the profession.
But after an evening spent celebrating everyone else's achievements, we think there comes a point when the speeches should stop, the band should start and everyone should be allowed to have some fun.
As our After Party Sponsor, Probate.Auction will be at the heart of that final part of the evening, bringing together the live music, drinks, dancing and celebrations that will see The Probies 2027 out in style.
And as the last sponsor our guests will see on the night, they have one fairly important job:
Keep the party going.
We’re delighted to welcome Probate.Auction to the Probies 2027 sponsor family and look forward to celebrating with their team at Church House Westminster.
Trophies polished. Band ready. Dancing shoes strongly advised! 🏆🪩✨

Making progress possible
Untangled provides specialist lending designed to help customers access the money they need when funds are tied up, helping with legal fees and living expenses upfront.

Dinner is Served! easyStorage Awards Dinner Sponsor for 2027
We’re delighted to announce easyStorage as the official Awards Dinner Sponsor of the 2027 Probate Industry Awards!

Property Solutions Group Returns as Headline Sponsor of the Probate Industry Awards 2027
We’re delighted to announce that Property Solutions Group will return as Headline Sponsor of the Probate Industry Awards for 2027, marking their second consecutive year at the heart of the Probies.
Following a fantastic partnership in 2026, we’re incredibly pleased to welcome Property Solutions Group back for another year as we prepare to celebrate the very best of the UK probate profession.
The Probate Industry Awards are all about recognising the people, teams and businesses raising standards across our industry – and having partners who share that commitment is hugely important to us.
Property Solutions Group does exactly that.
A Partnership Built Around the Probate Profession
Property is often one of the biggest assets within an estate – and frequently one of the most demanding to manage.
Since 2015, Property Solutions Group has worked alongside law firms and legal professionals across the UK, providing specialist support to protect, maintain and market estate property.
From the moment a property comes into an estate through to its eventual sale, their team can take responsibility for the practicalities, helping probate professionals reduce administration, manage risk and achieve the best possible outcome for clients and beneficiaries.
And importantly, they understand the unique sensitivities involved in probate.
Taking the Property Pressure Off Legal Teams
Probate practitioners already have plenty on their desks. Coordinating contractors, dealing with vacant property, resolving insurance issues and managing a sale can quickly consume valuable time.
Property Solutions Group provides a single point of contact to help manage those moving parts.
Their support can include:
- Protecting and securing vacant properties
- Property maintenance and repairs
- Insurance solutions
- Preparing properties for market
- Strategic property marketing
- Supporting decisions around property sales
- Providing regular progress updates and a documented audit trail
The result? Less time spent coordinating property matters and more time available for the work that really needs a legal professional’s expertise.
It’s a practical partnership designed to protect estate assets, reduce risk and help deliver better outcomes.
Back for Another Year at the Probies
The return of Property Solutions Group as our Headline Sponsor is particularly special to us.
Sponsorship of the Probate Industry Awards is about much more than putting a name on an event. It’s about supporting a celebration of the people and organisations moving this profession forward.
From probate practitioners and researchers to legal technology providers and the many specialist businesses supporting estate administration, the Probies bring the whole community together for one very special evening.
We’re thrilled that Property Solutions Group will once again be right at the centre of it.
Expect recognition, celebration, a little glitz and glamour – and, of course, plenty of those coveted Probies trophies!
Thank You, Property Solutions Group
A huge thank you to the entire Property Solutions Group team for continuing their support of the Probate Industry Awards.
We’re proud to have them returning as Headline Sponsor for 2027, and we’re looking forward to another brilliant year together. 🥂✨

La Voix Announced as Host of the Probate Industry Awards 2027
✨ The secret is out... La Voix is your host for the 2027 Probate Industry Awards ✨
Known for her powerhouse vocals, razor-sharp wit and unmistakable stage presence, La Voix is an award-winning performer who knows exactly how to command a room. And in 2027, that room will be filled with some of the brightest stars from across the probate industry.
From legal professionals and probate researchers to technology providers, innovators and the many specialist businesses supporting the sector, The Probies bring our industry together for one unforgettable evening of celebration.
And with La Voix holding the microphone, you can expect plenty of laughter, sparkle and surprises along the way. ✨
But while we love the glitz and glamour, The Probate Industry Awards have always been about something much bigger.
They are our opportunity to recognise the people and organisations raising standards, embracing innovation, delivering exceptional service and making a genuine difference across the probate sector.
Behind every nomination is a story worth celebrating. Behind every trophy is an individual or team whose hard work deserves its moment in the spotlight.
If you’ve experienced The Probies before, you’ll know this is far from your average industry awards ceremony.
And if you haven’t? 2027 might just be the year to change that.
There’s plenty more to reveal over the coming months, including nominations, sponsorship opportunities, tickets and a few surprises we’re keeping under wraps for now…
For the moment, there’s just one thing left to say:
La Voix, welcome to The Probies!Â
We cannot WAIT to see what you have in store for us.
Stay tuned. The road to #Probies2027 starts here… ✨
New year. New venue. Same unmistakable Probies sparkle.
We’re delighted to announce that The Probate Industry Awards 2027 will take place at the spectacular Assembly Hall at Church House Westminster, London.
And what a setting it is.
Located in the heart of Westminster, the Assembly Hall is one of London’s most impressive and historic event spaces. Beneath its magnificent 30-foot glass dome, surrounded by polished English oak, the venue can welcome up to 600 guests – making it a suitably show-stopping setting for one of the biggest nights in the probate industry calendar.
A venue steeped in history
Completed in 1939, the Assembly Hall was designed by renowned British architect Sir Herbert Baker as the centrepiece of Church House Westminster.
The Grade I listed Church House has played a fascinating role in British and international history. Its foundation stone was laid by Queen Mary in 1937 and the building was officially opened by King George VI in 1940.
During the Second World War, Church House provided a wartime home for Parliament, with both the House of Commons and House of Lords sitting within the building. It later hosted some of the earliest meetings of the United Nations, including the first meeting of the UN Security Council in 1946.
More recently, Church House Westminster was selected to host receptions marking the State Funeral of Queen Elizabeth II and the Coronation of King Charles III, welcoming royalty and heads of state from around the world.
And in 2027, it will welcome the probate profession for a rather special celebration of its own.
The stage is set…
The Probate Industry Awards bring together legal professionals, probate researchers, technology providers and the many organisations supporting the sector to recognise outstanding achievements, innovation and individuals making a real difference.
Our move to the Assembly Hall marks an exciting new chapter for the awards – and we’re already looking forward to seeing this extraordinary space transformed for a night of celebration, recognition and, of course, plenty of Probies glitz and glamour.
