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 Meg Wilton

Very helpful and accommodating. Bit difficult to find the entrance to the office but we got there in the end. Disabled friendly, but no disabled toilet which is a bit unusual as it's a fairly new building, and they're well organised.

Fantastic service from the team at Scullion Law. Straight from the off, the customer service from Jennifer was fantastic helping me through booking my appointment and what to expect when I arrived. On the day, i was welcomed with open arms and Scott was also very helpful too during my appointment. The family vibe at Scullion law is very evident the moment you walk through the door. Thank you for the nice experience and looking after me.

Hayden Bain

Tagged solicitor Hayden Bain

I had the unfortunate task of dealing with the executry of my late sister who passed away suddenly. In a time when I was not in a good place and struggling to cope with the legal and emotional aspects, Hayden was a beacon of support and professionalism. From the outset, he was exceptionally patient and understanding, guiding me through every step with clarity and compassion. His thorough knowledge and attention alleviated much of the stress I was experiencing. Hayden not only managed the legalities with the utmost competence but also provided invaluable advice on what needed to be done, making a difficult time much more manageable. I cannot recommend Hayden highly enough for anyone in need of a dedicated and empathetic solicitor. His support was instrumental during a challenging period, and I am immensely grateful for his service.

We found the process very easy. We had a fairly simple will so did not need too much advice. We had only a handful of meetings before the actual wills were signed. No complaints whatsoever.

Sarah Begley

Tagged solicitor Sarah Begley

Sarah Begley was the solicitor who helped my husband and myself sort out our dear friends will and probate. She explained in detail what the process would be and how long it would take. Sarah was able to help us with a difficult situation and dealt with the problem quickly and efficiently. Nothing was too much bother for her and she kept us informed every step of the way. I would definitely recommend Sarah Begley and Martin Tolhurst solicitors.
