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.

Caroline Sugrue

Tagged solicitor Caroline Sugrue

Chose BP Collins after searching for a UK solicitor online. I needed a solicitor quickly to deal with the cash sale of an inherited property. I was impressed by the Trustpilot score and reviews and was further impressed by the rapid and professional response to my initial query, which was superior to the other firms I contacted. Costs were clear and upfront and I was very happy with the way they advised and dealt with the sale of the property in question. I would happily use them again should the occasion arise, and would definitely recommend them.

Rebecca Dean

Tagged solicitor Rebecca Dean

Rebecca provided clear advice following the death of my mother, whereby Nelsons acted as executor for her estate. I was kept well informed throughout the process, and this made a difficult task easier to deal with than just by myself. Very professional and pleasant to deal with.

Lucy Elizabeth Pankhurst

Tagged solicitor Lucy Elizabeth Pankhurst

The service I received from Lucy was outstanding. She was professional, empathetic, knowledgeable, and genuinely understanding throughout the entire process. Navigating legal matters while grieving is incredibly difficult, but Lucy made me feel at ease and explained everything clearly and thoroughly. I would highly recommend BWK Solicitors and will continue to use their services in the future. Thank You Lucy.
