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.

Kalim Akhtar

Tagged solicitor Kalim Akhtar

I had previously dealt with Kalim in relation to the sale of my late father’s property, so when it came to handling the sale of my late mother’s property, I did not hesitate to instruct him again. Kalim was thorough, efficient, communicative and professional throughout the entire process. He kept me updated regularly, handled matters promptly. It was genuinely a pleasure dealing with Kalim and I am extremely grateful for all of his help and support. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable solicitor, and I will definitely use him again in the future.

Fantastic service from the team at Scullion Law. Straight from the off, the customer service from Jennifer was fantastic helping me through booking my appointment and what to expect when I arrived. On the day, i was welcomed with open arms and Scott was also very helpful too during my appointment. The family vibe at Scullion law is very evident the moment you walk through the door. Thank you for the nice experience and looking after me.
