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.

Julie Granger

Tagged solicitor Julie Granger

Kingfords dealt with my late wife's probate and also writing a new will for myself. Everything went smoothly with face to face meetings, telephone consultations and draft documents via email. I highly recommend Kingsfords and especially Julie Granger who dealt with my new Will. Also the secretaries were very helpful.

Tagged solicitors Nicole Barrs and Samantha Smith

From the beginning Nicole and Sam were always there to advise me, hold my hand, and help me navigate the foreign legalities of the UK. In addition, everyone I had contact with in the office was unfailingly kind and helpful. When I have the good fortune of returning to Sunderland, I will definitely seek you out. It goes without saying that I would recommend your Firm without hesitation. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Leah Waller

I recently worked with Leah to draft my Will, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, she explained every step in clear, understandable terms. Leah was incredibly patient, answering all my questions and addressing my concerns with kindness and professionalism. Her expertise and dedication made a potentially stressful process smooth and manageable. I highly recommend Leah—she's an absolute asset to the law firm.

Lea Maynard

Tagged solicitor Lea Maynard

Following the death of my husband, I was faced with the issues of dealing with transferring title of our jointly held French property (a very small house) into my name only and subsequently the sale of the house. I had no knowledge of the stages involved or how to approach them. These difficulties were compounded by a very unresponsive Notaire in France. Lea came to my rescue, explained the process and various stages involved and undertook the negotiations with the Notaire. It transpired to be a long process (although I now understand that it is inevitably much longer than in the UK) but Lea chased and followed up with the Notaire, resulting in a successful transfer of title and sale. This help and advice was invaluable. Always professional but kind, understanding and empathetic. Someone on whom I could rely. With my sincere thanks to Lea and to Buckles.

I found Rebecca Minns to be very helpful and professional. She clearly explained various aspects of updating my will. Changes were made and a few weeks later I was able to go into the office to have the will signed and witnessed. I was very happy with the service I received.
