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.

Ralph McCranSteven Fell

Tagged solicitors Ralph McCran and Steven Fell

Recently used the services of both Ralph and Steven at Malcolm Jack and Matheson, having used the firm for wills, powers of attorney and settlement of estates previously. I would highly recommend them for their professional yet friendly service. They are diligent and knowledgable, keeping you informed all the way. Also found it so easy to make direct contact any time it was required.

Peter Martin

Tagged solicitor Peter Martin

I obtained a second opinion from Peter Martin on several matters where my existing solicitor had been failing in both service and explanation of the status with my divorce case, and a brief review of the way forward for applying for probate in respect of my late mothers estate . I found Peter to be extremely knowledgeable and straight to the point. The advice given has probably saved me further expense and valuable time, and has clarified my position in respect of a formal complaint against my divorce case solicitor. I would be pleased to recommend him.

Jonathan McNamara

Tagged solicitor Jonathan McNamara

I met with Jonathan MacNamara to discuss the dissolution of a family trust which had been arranged through an unrelated firm of solicitors. Jonathan handled all aspects of the work and produced a very satisfactory outcome. At all times, he was friendly, efficient and professional.
