Top 10 of 3,713 law firms for Appearance, Wills, Trusts & Probate

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Appearance in wills, trusts and probate work covers the act of attending court or a tribunal on probate matters, such as applying for grants of representation, contesting a will, or resolving disputes about trusts or executries. A solicitor in this area represents the client at hearings, negotiates disputes, and handles submissions, evidence, and witness examination to progress the case. These proceedings may involve the Probate Registry, the High Court, or county courts, depending on the nature and value of the claim.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The outcome can determine who administers an estate, who benefits from a will or trust, and how debts are paid, with deadlines and court orders decisively shaping the result. A solicitor ensures proper steps are taken within court timescales, coordinates with executors, beneficiaries and potential rivals, and prepares or challenges applications for probate, reseals, removals, or settlements. Professional accountability and court procedure underpin every action in this area.

Maia Creed

Tagged solicitor Maia Creed

Maia was very helpful in simplifying and preparing what felt initially a fairly complex Will to sort. Maia was very focused and professional throughout our meeting, keeping the subject matter on point and was very efficient with our time spent with her.

Meg Wilton

Tagged solicitor Meg Wilton

Meg was absolutely fantastic. Supported my sister and I throughout the inheritance tax / probate process after the death of our parents. We really appreciated her professional approach and the speed at which she completed the process. All queries were answered by return and Meg helped us through a very difficult period in our lives with her clarity and approachable manner.

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.

Raine Cozens

Tagged solicitor Raine Cozens

I cannot recommend Gepps Solicitors enough. Over the past 3 years, they have assisted me during the toughest time when my brother passed away. He died intestate during lockdown. I firstly dealt with Chantelle Bradley, who assisted in settling probate, at the same time writing my Will along with my LPA and EPA. It took a year for probate to be granted and after Chantelle had left Gepps, I dealt with Raine Cozens, who assisted me with many issues with my late brother's property which suffered a serious of leaks, finally taking almost 2 years to sort out. I was also given advice by Gepps litigation dept during this time. whilst Raine has been on maternity leave, I have been dealing with Alison Kendall, who helped finalise my late brother's final estate accounts. I have also deal with Katie Jacksons conveyancing team who handled the sale of property at the end of last year. The amount of time, patience and advice extended to me throughout the 3 years has been exceptional. Trying to navigate my way through all of the many issues alone, would have been impossible. All of the people I have had the pleasure of speaking with treated me with such kindness and have been so thoughtful, I cannot thank them all enough and will be forever grateful.
