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.

Emma was absolutely brilliant support for us when we lost our mum and had to sort out her estate and probate. She helped us through each step professionally but also with understanding and empathy. A fantastic service.

My sister and I, in the capacity of executors, worked closely with the conveyancing team at E J Moyle on all aspects of the sale of our late father's property. We received a first class service, were promptly communicated with at all times and our questions were answered in a timely manner.
