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.

Hayley Caprani-Warner

Tagged solicitor Hayley Caprani-Warner

I had to contact Hayley when my husband passed away suddenly. Not only did she handle everything professional but was supportive and very kind. I was at a loss as to where to start. Hayley was sincere and explained everything clearly. I would not hesitate to contact Hayley again if I ever need legal help.

Julie Flight

Tagged solicitor Julie Flight

We dealt with Gepp following the death of my brother and dealing with his estate. It was an extremely stressful and painful time and Jessica and all her team took full control and dealt with everything for us. When Jessica went onto maternity leave Julie took over our case and the handover was seamless and she again provided excellent service with the same care. We will never be able thank Gepp for dealing with this matter and taking the stress away from us to allow time to grieve and deal with the other matters.

We have used Amphlett Lissimore for a few years now after being with a firm of solicitors in central London. Both Akila and Judith with their wonderful business support Geraldine have served us well. They gave us time to explain our needs regarding our Wills and delivered promptly . We have had far better service from this local solicitors than ever we had with the firm in the City. Thank you so much and we will recommend you to everyone we know.
