Top 10 of 695 law firms for Right of Survivorship, Inheritance Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

The right of survivorship covers what happens to property held by two or more people as joint tenants. If one owner dies, the survivor or survivors automatically gain the deceased’s share, without the need for probate for that portion. A solicitor helps you understand how this works, checks the deed or title to confirm joint tenancy, and advises on severing the tenancy to create separate interests. They may draft declarations of trust and advise on future conveyancing or trusts as needed.

Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor

A joint owner’s death transfers their share to the surviving owner automatically, which can affect taxes and mortgages. A solicitor explains and protects the surviving owner’s position by reviewing the title, advising on severance or remedies (such as a declaration of trust), and ensuring records with the Land Registry reflect the correct ownership.

Anna Fowler-Guest

Tagged solicitor Anna Fowler-Guest

Anna Fowler-Guest created mirror Wills for myself and my partner. We had been putting this off for years believing that it was going to be a long, arduous, uncomfortable and emotional process. However, Anna made this easy, taking us through step-by-step, taking the time to explain things (more than once) if needed. Anna went above and beyond by working over her weekend to get our Wills completed in advance of my partner going into hospital for a major operation. A year or so later, we decided to get married and Anna helped us easily make the amendments to our wills so that they were compliant. We found Anna to be extremely helpful, kind, patient and approachable and we would definitely recommend her services.

Alicia Nesham

Tagged solicitor Alicia Nesham

An initial meeting was held where we requested Mrs Nesham to produce mirrored Wills for myself and my wife. The details of the Wills were discussed in depth, guidance offered by Mrs Nesham, and agreement reached on their final content. A further meeting was held to review the wills produced, which were then signed and witnessed. We have subsequently received copies of the wills.

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.

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.
