Top 10 of 3,713 law firms for Advising on the Creation and Administration of Lifetime Trusts and Those Arising on Death, Wills, Trusts & Probate

Law firms ranked by client reviews

This work covers the creation and ongoing administration of lifetime trusts and the trusts that arise when someone dies, including handling the transfer of assets into a trust, drafting the trust deed, managing trustees, and administering the estate or trust in line with the terms set out by the settlor or the will. A solicitor in this area drafts and reviews trust documents, advises on tax and funding of the trust, liaises with executors and beneficiaries, and, on death, oversees probate matters and the distribution of assets according to the trust or will. The work is shaped by the terms of the trust or will, UK tax rules, and the responsibilities of trustees and executors.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The solicitor ensures that the trust is valid and properly funded, that trustees understand and follow the trust terms, and that distributions and reporting are carried out in accordance with applicable law and the trust document. They provide guidance on tax issues (including inheritance tax and ongoing income tax), safeguard the interests of beneficiaries, maintain proper accounts, and handle any disputes or changes in trusteeship, all within regulatory and fiduciary standards designed to protect the client’s position and the integrity of the trust.

Tagged solicitor Phil Turner

Exceptional service from Phil Turner. Took about 4 years to resolve, none of which was Phil's fault, but he stuck at it and eventually obtained a positive result which I'm very grateful for. Highly recommended

Lucy McKenna

Tagged solicitor Lucy McKenna

Lucy was extremely professional and used great communication throughout my time with her working on my case. She was always ready to listen and took on board all of my decisions with great care. The service was quick and I was always informed if every step and actions taken. I can't recommend her highly enough and when would be my first port of call, if I needed her devices again. A pleasure working with her and her company through a very difficult time.
