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.

We instructed Alster Kelley to deal with our recent purchase. Helen Checketts was our solicitor and was excellent and responsive in her communication throughout. Buying a house can be stressful but she made it a pleasant experience! I would highly recommend both Helen and Alsters Kelley.

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.

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.

Our family circumstances were such that we had to liaise with this firm from a distance, however this was no barrier or problematic. From the outset our dealings with their staff were excellent - professional, knowledgeable, extremely helpful organised and very approachable and friendly. It was refreshing to be able to speak directly to the relevant solicitor and be kept up to date with progress. We would certainly recommend them both for estate issues and conveyancing.
