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.

Meg Wilton

Tagged solicitor Meg Wilton

I was introduced to Meg Wilton from Elite Law Solicitors based in Leighton Buzzard Bedfordshire as I needed legal help after the unexpected death of my husband in September 2022. Having a Will in place helped to start with, but I wanted to ensure that my only daughter had an up to date Will and I needed a Probate for property in Spain. I also needed advice regarding other matters.

Susan Owens

Tagged solicitor Susan Owens

I recently used Borneo Martell Turner Coulston to write my will, and I couldn't be more impressed with the service I received. From the first meeting, Susan was friendly, clear, and reassuring. Susan's calm, professional approach made what can, for some, be a daunting and emotional process, straightforward and stress-free. Susan explained everything in plain English, answered all questions patiently, and supported ably by Leanne ensured the final document truly reflected my wishes and that every detail was accurate and in line with what I wanted. I appreciated that during the process I felt listened to and respected. I'm grateful to all at BMTC for making the process so smooth. I recommend them to anyone seeking expert, compassionate support on such legal matters.

Kate Marsh

Tagged solicitor Kate Marsh

Following the loss of my partner after almost three years of illness I was very much a 'rabbit in the headlights'. I could not face all that needed to be done in terms of gaining Grant of Probate and settling of the estate. My partner and I had previously made our wills and given each other power of attorney via Paris Smith. Kate was our solicitor throughout and we were extremely impressed by her professionalism and sensitivity to our situation. So I didn't need to think twice before calling on Kate's help and expertise again following the loss of my partner. I was kept informed of developments throughout the process and guided through what needed to be done when. I knew I could contact Kate when I needed to and her responses were always timely and considered. My partner and I have been treated so well by Kate and other members of the Paris Smith team and I would have no hesitation in recommending.

Jasmine dealt with me in a very professional and courteous manner. She was respectful of my time of grief, but also very helpful in facilitating the tasks that I needed to perform. Overall, I am extremely grateful, and I would have no hesitation in recommending Slee Blackwell for any legal matters

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.
