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.

Sarah Begley

Its tempting to delay making a will but failing to do so will land your family with a lot of trouble and worry at a time when they least can cope with it. Wills are like fingerprints, similar in many ways, but the devil is in the details. Ours didn’t have too many complications but to make the right choices we needed clear, practical advice. Sarah was able to supply this and draft wills were posted soon after our consultation meeting. A couple of phone calls cleared up the finer points and we were given a choice of appointment times to call in the Longfield office for signature and witnessing. A week later we received the electronic and paper copies and the assurance that the originals will be filed in the Tolhurst facility. There was also a leaflet on Lasting Power of Attorney, another necessary thing to attend to in later life. We are studying this and will certainly return to this company in the near future

Clare was very sensitive to my situation, having lost both parents less that two months apart. She was also happy to re-explain everything when my brother visited from the USA.

Marie Verney

Tagged solicitor Marie Verney

After the unexpected passing of close family we reached out to Gardner Leader who paired us with Marie. She was compassionate, friendly, and understanding of our situation and our needs, and answered all our questions from the beginning, no matter how large or small. She was clear about the process and kept us up to date on the progress, which was very fast and efficient. Our needs changed part way through and she proactively helped us contact the appropriate department and arrange meetings with professionals outside Gardner Leader when needed, even at very short notice. Nobody wants to deal with the loss of a loved one, but Marie made the process much easier and simpler than we expected. We highly recommend her services and those of her colleagues at Gardner Leader and were continually impressed with their speed and high standards.
