Top 10 of 3,713 law firms for Contentious Trusts, Wills, Trusts & Probate

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Contentious trusts covers disputes over the creation, interpretation and administration of trusts, including challenges to trustees’ powers, breaches of trust, removal or replacement of trustees, and disputes around executries and claims by or against beneficiaries. A solicitor in this area handles court applications, drafting or responding to pleadings, negotiating settlements, and advising on remedies such as directions, remedial schemes, or vesting orders. Proceedings often involve the High Court in England and may extend to insolvency or professional negligence considerations if trustees’ duties are implicated.

Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor

Trust disputes can crystallise where trustees fail to act in the interests of beneficiaries or exceed their powers, risking breaches of trust and potentially personal liability. A solicitor provides professional accountability, handles regulated conduct of litigation, advises on remedies and settlements, and, if needed, coordinates with professional indemnity insurers and regulatory frameworks to protect the client’s position.

We used Winstons to sort out our late fathers life interest trust. Emily was brilliant...very efficient, organised and knowledgeable. It was a complicated issue to us but Emily dealt with it quickly and efficiently...taking away the stress for us.

Fakhruddin Maimoon

Tagged solicitor Fakhruddin Maimoon

Ali has been fantastic. We previously went to another company who prepared our Wills and Powers of Attorney. The documents were incorrect and the service was awful. We were recommended Slater Heelis and in particular Ali. Ali gave us detailed advice and prepared new documents. The communication was great and everything was completed quickly. Thank you, Ali.

Charles Smalley

Tagged solicitor Charles Smalley

A thorough and professional service. The solicitor understood exactly what was needed and prepared a clear Deed of Variation that could be acted on by the executors. It took longer than the estimated 10 days, largely due to the unavoidable delays due to the long use of the paper post system.

Jasmin Marshall

Tagged solicitor Jasmin Marshall

We have recently used the Mapperley branch to sort out Grant of Probate and will also be using them for conveyancing. Jasmin Marshall who dealt with the probate was very professional but lovely at the same time. She put us at ease at what was a difficult time for us, and made the whole process much less painful. From start to finish it only took 3 weeks for probate to be granted and during that time we were kept fully informed. I can’t thank Jasmin and the team enough for what they did.

After the decision to make a will- thank goodness we went to Howells & saw Melodie. She was so lovely, efficient, professional and very mindful while dealing with a very personal delicate subject. Very happy with the easy way the wills were done & I will highly recommend this firm and the way Melodie put us at ease and answered lots of questions putting us at ease. Thank you again for a wonderful service with the added bonus of a house visit.
