Top 10 of 695 law firms for Estate and Gift Tax, Inheritance Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Estate and Gift Tax covers how your estate is taxed on death and how lifetime gifts affect that tax. In England, the main framework is Inheritance Tax, including available reliefs, exemptions and the nil-rate band. A solicitor in this area helps with estate planning to mitigate tax, drafts wills and lasting powers of attorney, and handles tax calculations, declarations to HMRC, and applications for relevant reliefs on the client’s behalf. They also coordinate executors, collect assets, negotiate with HMRC, and ensure timely filing of estate accounts and tax forms where needed.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

Tax planning hinges on precise calculation of the nil-rate band and any residence or other reliefs, and on drafting structures that achieve efficient transfer of value while complying with UK tax rules. A solicitor in this field manages the complex interactions between lifetime gifts, potential clawbacks, and deadlines for declarations and returns, and handles liaising with HM Revenue & Customs, gathering necessary documentation, and advising on the timing of gifts to minimize exposure.

Jonathan Bridge

Tagged solicitor Jonathan Bridge

I contacted numerous solicitors to no avail, and felt like giving up, until Jonathan Bridge took the time to call me and discuss my CICA claim. His approach is at all times friendly, compassionate and professional. Besides feeling relief, I felt confident as he detailed his vast experience of working with the CICA, and whilst I secured an award on my own merit initially, I would not recommend this approach for future clients as ultimately it was Jonathan's professional capacity as a solicitor dealing with abuse that got me the award I deserved and for that I will be forever grateful. It is true that you do not need a solicitor to deal with your CICA claim, and the CICA is keen to advise this, but I cannot emphasize enough how important it is that you do, especially given the circumstances of my case which was reviewed by the CICA once again after Jonathan took over my claim. That he achieved the six figure sum in a matter of weeks is astonishing. I do not believe I could have achieved this without his professionalism in challenging the particular circumstances of the original reward.

Hannah Goodeve

Tagged solicitor Hannah Goodeve

I contacted Parker Bullen when they offered a free consultation for volunteers and clients of Romsey Cancer Support Centre (Jane Scarth House). My husband had died and I had to write a new Will and Lasting Powers of Attorney, which was difficult for me but had to done. Hannah Goodeve understood my needs and helped me through the whole process. She was friendly, professional, efficient and kind. It was useful having face-to-face meeting. I have had dealing with six solicitors over the past 16 years to settle estates of relatives. I wish I known of Parker Bullen for my husband’s estate. Two of the six solicitors, I would not recommend to anyone. However, I would have no hesitation in recommending Parker Bullen, especially to those in my situation.

Lauren Mars

Tagged solicitor Lauren Mars

I am a Scottish solicitor and Lauren assisted one of my clients in dealing with estate in France. Lauren is very knowledgeable, responsive and professional and I would definitely recommend her to other solicitors or clients needing assistance with French law. I hope to work with her again in the future.
