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.

We contacted Sherrards for assistance with a Lifetime Will Trust in respect of my late father's estate. David Mulholland was extremely knowledgeable and efficient.

Annmarie Jones steered my wife and I thought the complexities of will and trust construction ensuring we had an optimal structure to benefit our children. Working with Annmarie was a joy, whilst Annmarie is a consummate professional she also remains a truly empathetic individual and sympathetic to ones individual position. We highly recomend her.
