Top 10 of 3,713 law firms for Advising Executors, Wills, Trusts & Probate

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Where a person dies leaving a will, solicitors advise executors on gathering the estate, paying debts and legacies, and applying for the grant of probate. They draft and check the estate accounts, liaise with HM Revenue & Customs and the Probate Registry, identify beneficiaries, and handle claims against the estate. They also navigate deadlines, fiduciary duties and, where relevant, disputes, ensuring assets are distributed in accordance with the will and the law.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The grant of probate is a decisive, time‑sensitive step. A solicitor helps the executor meet the legal duties, prepare and submit the necessary papers, address Inheritance Tax and other liabilities, and keep detailed, auditable records to protect the executor from personal liability if a mistake occurs.

Holly Gilbert

Tagged solicitor Holly Gilbert

Very impressed with the whole process including that the original hourly rate when given a voucher for a reduced fee Will was honoured in spite of a subsequent annual rise in the hourly rate. Grateful for caring personal input with very patient help answering my questions, explaining complex inheritance legalities related to Private Pensions & restrictions upon Executorship role of Solicitor. I felt 'seen' as an individual, was confident that my lawyer had my best interest at heart, and this reassuring personal approach smoothed the emotiveness of making a new Will. Thank you Holly.

Connor King

Tagged solicitor Connor King

What should have been a simple Executorship of Mrs Crefin's final Will and Testament proved to be anything but the case. There were 2 (Two) Beneficiaries, one of whom was, in my opinion, an narcissist. That is, to my mind, an individual who combines self centred attention seeking traits with an insatiable desire for wealth and possessions at anybody's expense; in this particular case the other beneficiary, his Sister my Wife. I suffered mentally and physically as a consequence of this individual for a considerable period of time and the only way to end this sorry state of affairs was to employ Solicitors to arrive at a conclusion. As an aside and as an example of his behaviour and thought process - just what kind of individual employs an Estate Agent to provide a valuation of his Mothers House the morning following her cremation, when her ashes were barely cold? There are other examples of his behaviour which necessitated the use of Solicitors as you can imagine. Using Levi Solicitors, in particular Connor King, was like a breath of fresh air. His calmness indicated to me that what I and my Wife were experiencing what not that unusual in matters of this nature. His reassurances that this needed to be brought to an early conclusion, and it was, indicated that he had sufficient experience, from previous cases, to relate to our own distress. I would highly recommend Connor who was understanding, patient and lifted, what had become an intolerable burden, from my shoulders. Myself (and my Wife) are immensely grateful to Connor and would not hesitate to recommend his services. We would also like to extend our gratitude to the other Staff, Ellyse in particular, at the Moortown Office for all their help.

Karen Goulding

Tagged solicitor Karen Goulding

A huge thank you to Karen Goulding for everything over the last 18 months or so, after the passing of our Mother. As executor of the will, I envisaged a complicated job ahead. However, Karen was absolutely amazing always answering my questions promptly and never using ‘legal jargon’ which helped me to understand the whole will/probate process easily which made the extremely challenging times easier to bear. I really can’t thank her enough for her compassion and kindness through it all given some ongoing ‘family issues’ between my sister and I and our brother. Her discretion during these awkward times were without doubt, extremely professional and without judgement on either side. A huge Thank you Karen for everything.

Tagged solicitor Faraz Manzur

We were very impressed with the whole setup of Sweeney Miller and especially with Faraz who was friendly and professional also. The costs were discussed before the process started and didn't change throughout. The process of making the will was explained from the start and was straightforward. In the final meeting, Faraz explained the will point by point and we were in no doubt about matters.

Fraser Dawbarns were appointed to administer the Probate + Estate of my late uncle in line with his Will. The firm had acted on his behalf over many years, including the preparation of his Will and Power of Attorney. They have been incredibly professional throughout, providing excellent advice and support. A friendly, customer centric approach, always ready to respond to any questions or concerns regarding my late uncle's affairs. My special thanks goes to Kim Neal (Estate) + Stella Norris (Conveyancing) for their outstanding support to me as an executor. I highly recommend Fraser Dawbarns to anyone seeking legal advice or services.
