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.

Hilary Coles

Tagged solicitor Hilary Coles

Hilary Coles from Maitland Walker Solicitors handled 2 inherited property sales for me. Both of which were complicated and drawn out. Hilary dealt with any and all issues in a professional manner, she always returned my calls, answered my emails, kept me updated throughout and made what could have been a very stressful time into an acceptable experience. I would thoroughly recommend Maitland Walker to anyone.

Abbi Hancock

Tagged solicitor Abbi Hancock

I cannot thank Abbi enough for the support and professionalism she showed while helping me deal with matters relating to my late father’s estate. This has been an incredibly emotional and difficult time for me, but Abbi handled everything with great care, patience, and understanding. Her guidance throughout the process was clear, reassuring, and highly professional. She took the time to explain things properly and was always responsive whenever I had questions or needed reassurance. Her compassion and respectful approach made a situation that felt overwhelming much easier to manage. I am truly grateful for the help and support she provided and would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone needing a knowledgeable, reliable, and empathetic legal professional.

Really appreciated the support and guidance from Rachel, not just able to provide honest and clear guidance but was really just able to listen when I think that was what I needed the most. My concerns were treated compassionately and with empathy whilst giving me the direction I needed to move forward and I feel that I am back in control now. Thank you, cannot recommend highly enough!

Samantha Kennedy

Tagged solicitor Samantha Kennedy

Morgan's looked after the sale of my mothers house, and the settlement of estate and wills. The service was brilliant. Excellent communication, and explanation of complex process, with a great deal of sympathy and understanding. The whole process from start to finish was handled so professionally, with no fuss and superb legal advice. I wish to especially mention Samantha Kennedy, partner in Morgan's who handled my mothers estate. I cant commend her enough for dealing so incredibly well with the legality and administration. She went over and above to keep my brother and I fully informed of progress. I would fully recommend Morgan's Solicitors for all legal advice, conveyancing and superb service. Thankyou so much.
