Estate & Probate

I was a co-executor of my parents Will dealing with the Private Wealth & Inheritance department. As a former Chartered Surveyor used to dealing with Solicitors, I found virtually all staff arrogant and contemptuous with overly intense fee charging plus the service provided was extremely poor, this firm should come with a Serious Health Warning. I would award zero stars if this were possible. None of the standard descriptions of this firm apply.

Will Preparation

The process of redrafting and reconfiguring our wills has been undertaken by Herrington Carmichael. Included in this task has been estate planning and discretionary trust preparation to position our wills as fit for purpose. We are happy with the outcome and commend the solicitor who conducted the review for his knowledge and professionalism.

Professional, courteous, prompt and empathetic support.

Following the passing of my mother, we engaged Herrington Carmichael to support us through the emotionally difficult process of both probate and distribution of funds from the sale of her assets. If you've been through this, you'll know how emotionally challenging and time consuming it can be. Throughout the year long process we engaged with numerous members of the team, but one stands out for his support. We found Piers Galton-Becque to be excellent in his communication, showing empathy, understanding and is clearly a competent and valuable asset to Herrington Carmichael. I don't normally provide reviews, but on this occasion it felt wholly appropriate.

Harriet Greener sorted out my Inheritance Provision family Dependants Act 1975. She helped me & my brother 100% to 🏆 Win. In Chess the best defense is attack if she was a Chess player she would be World class? She is a credit to Herrington Carmichael if you need a Dispute Solicitor get her.

Really knowledgeable and calm - professional and warm.

Harrington Carmichael were offered to me as a recommended solicitor, I thought this might mean that it was because the developer I was buying from would get some sort of financial kickback in fact, this was not the case and the recommendation came from the quality of their service and the reasonable price. Throughout the whole process everybody I dealt with was professional calm and knowledgeable putting me at complete ease. For this review, I wanted specifically to call out for praise MJ, Lauren Adams and Jessica Brooks for additional praise as they were truly superb.

Neighbour building adjacent to our property

Jed and his team at Herrington Carmichael have been very helpful, thorough in research, robust and timely in resolving matters, to maintain the privacy of our garden and property boundary when our neighbour was building next to our property. He was able to research and explain the deeds, his approach was very balanced and reassuring, and the matter was resolved appropriately with an agreed resolution moving forwards.

Over the past few months Nicole Miller, a Legal Director in Herrington Carmichael’s Private Wealth and Inheritance Department, has provided outstanding service in creating a trust for our family. From the outset, Nicole was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly reassuring, guiding us through what could have been a complex process with clarity and patience. She took the time to understand our circumstances fully and explained everything in straightforward terms, ensuring we felt confident at every stage. Nicole’s expertise, attention to detail, and responsive communication gave us complete peace of mind. She handled our matter with both precision and genuine care, making us feel that our family’s interests were truly valued. We are extremely grateful for her support and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking expert and compassionate private wealth advice.

I was referred to Aadil Khan from Herrington Carmichael by a good friend at one of the most difficult times in my life, during a stressful family court matter involving my toxic ex-partner. From the very beginning, Aadil and his team were incredibly supportive, professional, and fast with their responses. Aadil’s dedication really shows — every time I had a question, he explained things clearly, patiently, and with a reassuring confidence that made a huge difference. His communication was always quick, and the quality of his work has been consistently top-standard. I genuinely feel that I couldn’t have asked for a better solicitor to guide me through such a challenging situation. I’m deeply grateful for Aadil and his team, and I highly recommend Aadil Khan to anyone needing strong, reliable, and compassionate legal support. Thank you so much. Lucas
