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.

Russell Ali

Tagged solicitor Russell Ali

We needed to revise our Wills in the light of changes in the tax laws and our circumstances. We chose J & P because they were both local and seemed to have very good reviews. It was a very good choice. We used the services of Russell Ali at their Sidcup office. Our Wills involved the setting up of a Trust the details of which Russell explained to us at some length. Russell was of course very knowledgeable but also very likeable and easy to talk to. We asked lots of questions but despite it being a fixed price arrangement, at no time did we feel rushed. Within a few days we received draft Wills which were accompanied by an extremely useful side letter explaining each clause in plain English. We then raised a number of email queries which were dealt with promptly. At the end of the exercise we were very happy to sign our new Wills feeling confident we had achieved our original objectives. We would definitely use J & P, and Russell in particular, again.

Tiffany Benson

Tagged solicitor Tiffany Benson

I was put in contact with Tiffany Benson in July 2022 relating to a problem I had with a Trust. I had spent 12 months dealing with another company and was appalled at the lack of progress. Tiffany Benson explained clearly the procedure involved and gave me advice / options as to how to progress. As a result, she has completed my request satisfactorily. She has answered all my queries promptly and informed me regularly as to the progress being made. Her help has been invaluable to say the least and I highly recommend her services.
