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.

Anne Byard

Tagged solicitor Anne Byard

We recently used OWC to provide conveyancing services for us. My sister and I are appointed executors for our parent's estate. We found them to be extremely efficient, providing a friendly and professional service. All of our queries were answered speedily and any legalities that we didn't understand were explained. The whole process went as smoothly as possible and on time to meet our required completion date. We are very pleased with the service they provided and would definitely recommend them.

Mark Feely

Tagged solicitor Mark Feely

My sister and I needed to sell our parents home following them having to move into a care home, and chose Mark Feely was very highly recommended by a family member. We had a difficult journey with buyers and buyers solicitors. Mark was amazing and dealt with everything, and rather than playing pass the email back and forth, he talked to people and resolved the endless issues as they arose. He took time to ask as to how our parents were doing and could not have been more kind and supportive to us at this very difficult time. We wish we could give more than five stars.

Tagged solicitors Chloe Croft and Emma Hegarty

A named executor in the Will did not want to take this on. We know Brachers' excellent reputation. She had an hour zoom call with Emma and Chloe, which was free. We then had an appointment and were both impressed with the professionalism of both! I have severe sight problems which requires all communication in hard copy. We have been kept informed o the work needed, time taken to dot his and costs. We were able to ring and email to speak both to Emma ad Chloe re any queries. Both are at the top of their game, great communicators and humane!

Janine Toland

Tagged solicitor Janine Toland

We recently lost a dear family member who held his Will with W&AS Bruce and whose house was in a Trust organised by them. As an appointed executor I felt I was ‘safe in the hands’ of solicitor Janine Toland who expertly supported and guided me through dealing with the wishes of the deceased. This involved the complicated process of applying for Probate through the Court system and ultimately the conveyancing of a property. Janine was very efficient, she communicated progress frequently, explained things clearly and was helpful with any questions I had throughout. As Executor, what felt like a very daunting task at the beginning, was expertly brought to a close with efficiency, a very good level of communication and respect. Thank you W&AS Bruce, I would highly recommend.

Chaanah Patton

Tagged solicitor Chaanah Patton

We first used the conveyancing department of Taylor Emmet over 20 years ago when buying our property, and were then introduced to Chaanah Patton for making our wills. Ten years later she advised us in matters relating to trusts and powers of Attorney, and most recently for the updating of our Lasting Powers of Attorney. We have always found her friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and utterly professional and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

All completed without fuss. We had a wonderful conversation about the Welsh alphabet and the translation on my will into Melanesian.

Charles Ling

Tagged solicitor Charles Ling

The trainee solicitor, Charles Ling was helpful, clear, professional and a pleasure to deal with. He managed the selling of a family, probate property which required considerable co-ordination of diverse parties within a buying and selling property chain. I'd like to thank Charles for his calm approach, whatever was in the offing, and his good humour throughout. I wish you all the very best in your career.
