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.

I would like to thank Anne and all the team at Curwens for their extremely professional, helpful and efficient service during the management of the Estate following the passing of a recent family member. The diverse locations of the deceased and Executors resulted in quite a complicated process. This was managed extremely well at all times and the level of support provided was exceptional. I would have no hesitation in recommending Curwens to any prospective client. Well done.

Leah Waller

Tagged solicitor Leah Waller

I recently worked with Leah to draft my Will, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, she explained every step in clear, understandable terms. Leah was incredibly patient, answering all my questions and addressing my concerns with kindness and professionalism. Her expertise and dedication made a potentially stressful process smooth and manageable. I highly recommend Leah—she's an absolute asset to the law firm.

Jessica Dawkins

Tagged solicitor Jessica Dawkins

I was my mother's sole executor and my brother and I were the sole beneficiaries. Over the past 3 years after my mother went into a care home, my brother had been very difficult. Having stolen £120,000 from my mother's bank accounts, he was furious when our mother revoked his power of attorney. He coerced her into revoking my power of attorney, but the care home alerted Kent County Council safeguarding team and the matter was investigated by the Office of the Public Guardian and my power of attorney remained,as my mother wanted. When it came to dealing with Robert as a beneficiary I knew he would be rude and bullying towards me. He wanted to know everything I had done as mother's attorney and my solicitor had already informed me that he had no rights to this information. I asked Jessica to communicate with my brother and send the inheritance to him. I therefore had no communication with my brother and no anxiety. Jessica gave my brother all the information concerning the estate that he needed and clearly but politely informed him of what he was not entitled to (anything that happened before mother's death).Jessica was very professional and my brother respected this and accepted the facts without argument, thus the estate was distributed very quickly. I cannot recommend Jessica highly enough, for anyone in a similar position, this will be money well spent.
