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.

Charlotte Callaway

Tagged solicitor Charlotte Callaway

Charlotte Callaway has been my solicitor since shortly after my husband's death in May, 2024. She has guided me through all alternative routes that may be chosen during a bumpy legal and emotional time without ever actually advising or indicating to me a route to choose. Armed with the information appropriate to each scenario, I have made my choices and Charlotte has dealt accordingly for the best outcomes. Bearing the above in mind, I have chosen Heringtons to store all important papers when/if my Executors require them. I have also advised my Executors to call on Heringtons, if needed.

Gemma Helsdon

Tagged solicitor Gemma Helsdon

The lawyer I used at Ashtons legal was Gemma Helsdon. I found her extremely friendly and efficient throughout the probate process. Compared to my recent experience of solicitors this was far better and a much quicker experience. I would recommend Gemma and her team to anyone who has the daunting task of going through Probate.

Meg Wilton

Tagged solicitor Meg Wilton

This was my first experience as Executor and Meg has made it as painless as possible though it certainly hasn’t been quick (through absolutely no fault of hers). She has always been on top of the process, efficient, always friendly and helpful and professional throughout. I would recommend her to handle probate for any size of estate.
