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.

Jay Marsh

Tagged solicitor Jay Marsh

Jay was friendly, professional and listened to all my wishes and concerns. The Will was detailed but simple to understand and I was given many opportunities to change it, before it was finalised. I loved the fact that even though the Will is now written, Jay and Richard Griffiths will still be there to help if there is a change in my circumstances and also help my beneficiaries after I die.

Anila Veseli

Tagged solicitor Anila Veseli

Anila acted for the executors in a probate property sale, throughout the sale all communication was clear advice offered whenever needed or asked for. Response to emails and telephone calls was prompt and courtesy. A refreshing experience when compared to another law firm dealing with other matters. I have no hesitation in recommending Couchman Hanson and will use again.

Thank you so much for your time on the phone today. I waffled on far too long before getting to my question, and you were very patient with me which I very much appreciated.
