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

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Bereavement services in England cover administering an deceased person’s estate, including obtaining a grant of probate or letters of administration, collecting assets, settling debts, and distributing the remainder to beneficiaries. A solicitor drafts and submits the application for probate, inventories assets, communicates with banks and other institutions, and negotiates any Inheritance Tax issues, acting for executors or beneficiaries as appropriate. The work may also involve advising on trusts, lifetime gifts and post-death registrations.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The process hinges on time-sensitive steps such as applying for probate, appraising the estate, and settling tax liabilities; delays can affect beneficiaries and incur penalties. A solicitor protects your position by ensuring properly executed filings, safeguarding asset transfers, and maintaining clear records to support distributions and potential disputes.

Thomas Murray

Tagged solicitor Thomas Murray

When I first met Thomas Murray I felt immediately at ease and although it was a very difficult time for me due to the passing of a loved one, Thomas was extremely kind and understanding. There was a great deal of paperwork generated by Thomas but he dealt with it all in a methodical and very well organised way. His advice was very important and very reassuring for me. All the staff I came into contact with were efficient and friendly. If I had any questions Thomas was always available to deal with them. I have no hesitation in recommending Holley & Steer, in particular Thomas Murray.

After my mum's death earlier this year, my sister and I dealt with an amazing young man called Jake at Kidwells. He took us through all the complications following the death; was attentive, professional,totally reliable and always followed through every small point in e mail or on the phone without ever using "legalise" language. A very knowledgeable legal mind and a very understanding and compassionate human being. Thankyou to Michael his boss and the whole team, but an special thanks to Jake from all our family.

Chris Strogen

Tagged solicitor Chris Strogen

As a former Executor, and now Trustee, I had approached Chris Strogen for legal advice and guidance to assist with a complex Trust situation. All through the process Chris helped to ensure that my approach was both legal and appropriate for the circumstances, appertaining to a convoluting Trust going back 80 years. This is the second time I have employed Chris with family law matters and he has always put me at ease. I have no hesitation in recommending Chris and Evolve Family Law Ltd.
