Top 10 of 3,713 law firms for Collecting a Will, Wills, Trusts & Probate

Law firms ranked by client reviews

This work covers locating and obtaining a deceased person’s valid will, or proving there is no last will, in addition to obtaining a copy if needed. A solicitor collects, checks and, if required, applies to the Probate Registry to obtain the appropriate legal authority to deal with the estate. They may liaise with executors, families, banks and other institutions to confirm where the will is kept, arrange for sworn statements, and safeguard the will’s terms for execution.

Where a solicitor protects your position

A solicitor identifies the will’s whereabouts, confirms its validity, and, where required, applies for a grant of probate or letters of administration. They ensure the document is authenticated, coordinate with the executor and beneficiaries, and handle any issues around missing or contested wills, safeguarding the estate’s orderly administration.

Hilary Coles

Tagged solicitor Hilary Coles

Hilary Coles from Maitland Walker Solicitors handled 2 inherited property sales for me. Both of which were complicated and drawn out. Hilary dealt with any and all issues in a professional manner, she always returned my calls, answered my emails, kept me updated throughout and made what could have been a very stressful time into an acceptable experience. I would thoroughly recommend Maitland Walker to anyone.

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.
