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.

Tagged solicitors Austin Blackburn and Kearney Coffin

Kearney, I wish to place on record my sincere thanks to you and Austin Blackburn for your professional help, and for keeping me well informed as to the progress. At the time of Margaret’s death it would have been very difficult for me to have undertaken a fuller role as executor. I have previously undertaken the role of executor, and have a pretty good idea of much of what is involved. Throughout the whole process, I have been most impressed with the work you and Austin have carried out.

Alison Courtenay

Tagged solicitor Alison Courtenay

From the initial consultation to the final satisfactory outcome, Alison made the process of applying for Grant of Probate for my mother's estate as straightforward, swift and stressfree as possible. Her communications were clear and responses to my questions always prompt. Alison was professional at all times but showed compassion & understanding throughout.
