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.

Alan Horne

Tagged solicitor Alan Horne

We just wanted to express our appreciation for the Will and Power of Attorney services provided by Kidwells Solicitors. What we all thought would be a reasonably straight forward process became significantly more complicated when our elderly relative suddenly found themselves hospitalised. This, coupled with a further complication could have been very stressful for our relative but these complications were professionally managed by our solicitor Alan Horne, who offered considered and easily understood guidance to our family. Alan ensured that all of the arrangements necessary to complete the work with a hospital confined client were carried out with ease. He kept us fully informed as to what was happening, a consideration he also extended to the hospital staff who were able to continue their duties without any disruption. We would have no hesitation in recommending Kidwells or Alan Horne to future clients.

I can throughly recommend Chris Strogan and Evolve Famiky Law. He was approachable, friendly and most importantly, knowledgeable. At a difficult time h was extremely easy to work with, answering queries and explaining procedures in a very fast and understandable way.

Elizabeth Issac-Garner

Tagged solicitor Elizabeth Issac-Garner

I had previously used Kingsfords for conveyancing and been very satisfied. On this occasion it was to obtain Probate and other matters relating to my late wife. Elizabeth was knowledgeable and friendly and her secretary, Amy was delightful and always helpful. This was all a great help to me at this difficult time.

We found Tollers excellent at giving clear advice over the free Will service. Their service was clear and efficient and we will not hesitate to use Tollers in the future.

1st class service from initial booking of appointment to completion. My solicitor was empathetic and professional and broke down complex "legal jargon" into plain understandable English. She handled my case in an unhurried & friendly calm manner.

Damien Jones

Tagged solicitor Damien Jones

I can honestly say TS&P provided the best service of any firm I have worked with as a client. They provided exactly what I'd hoped for - pragmatic, expert advice, supporting me where I needed support and allowing me to work independently as Executor where I was able to. I had direct contact with a single solicitor throughout the process who was highly responsive, knowledgable and always provided clear and practical advice. Pricing was for the quality of service excellent and very fair. The outcome was excellent, they guided me expertly through the management of my father's estate, completed IHT submissions and achieved grant of probate in good time, and worked for tax efficiency wherever possible. 5 stars without hesitation, and I will now be using TS&P for any legal matters going forward.
