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.

Shay Saba

Tagged solicitor Shay Saba

My sister and I sold our late father’s house by auction and used Brown Turner Ross for the conveyancing. We were allocated Shay Saba who has been excellent throughout the whole process. He was very quick in responding to emails, explained everything thoroughly to us and ensured the whole process went smoothly. I would definitely recommend him and would use him again if I needed to.

I had put off writing a will for years and just didn’t get round to it. Once Maggie’s started the Will Writing service, I was really pleased to take part and I got just the encouragement I needed to make the appointment- as I knew my donation would go to help Maggie’s Manchester! The solicitor, Tasnim Khalid was wonderful and made me feel very relaxed, she made the whole experience straightforward and just made sure I hadn’t missed anything out. It took about 40 minutes and afterwards I immediately felt a great weight had been lifted off my shoulders, and I could forget about it, knowing that everything was now arranged as I wanted. I also wanted to support Maggie’s Manchester because they offer an amazing support service to everyone affected by cancer. It was a bonus being able to see the solicitor at Maggie’s in the beautiful centre here.

I was very impressed with the professional and efficiency I received from Ellie Colbourne starting from my initial telephone call enquiry about amending my Will through to the final meeting to sign my amended Will. I would certainly recommend Howard & Over to someone else.
