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.

Robyn MacNeil

Tagged solicitor Robyn MacNeil

We entrusted W&AS Bruce to prepare Wills and Powers of Attorney for both my wife and me. The whole process was handled very efficiently from start to finish, with sincere thanks to Robyn MacNeil. Additionally, we received clarification on behalf of my mum regarding her own Will and the full extent of her long standing Power of Attorney, which she had been unsure about. It was reassuring for her to know that everything was as she expected and that all documents were securely held. Legal matters can often be time consuming and complicated, but with the help of Robyn and the staff at W&AS Bruce, we felt we were treated with courtesy and respect throughout, and the whole process was far easier than we anticipated. We would happily recommend the services of Robyn and the solicitors as a whole to any prospective clients.

Karen Woods

Tagged solicitor Karen Woods

My family and I used Russell & Russell for the sale of our late mother’s property. Karen Woods and her team provided an excellent service. They were supportive, approachable and always responded quickly to questions and queries. The online portal was easy to use and aided the smooth running of the conveyancing. I’d have no hesitation in using their service in the future or recommending them to others.

Susan Owens

Tagged solicitor Susan Owens

I recently used Borneo Martell Turner Coulston to write my will, and I couldn't be more impressed with the service I received. From the first meeting, Susan was friendly, clear, and reassuring. Susan's calm, professional approach made what can, for some, be a daunting and emotional process, straightforward and stress-free. Susan explained everything in plain English, answered all questions patiently, and supported ably by Leanne ensured the final document truly reflected my wishes and that every detail was accurate and in line with what I wanted. I appreciated that during the process I felt listened to and respected. I'm grateful to all at BMTC for making the process so smooth. I recommend them to anyone seeking expert, compassionate support on such legal matters.

Charles Ling

Tagged solicitor Charles Ling

The trainee solicitor, Charles Ling was helpful, clear, professional and a pleasure to deal with. He managed the selling of a family, probate property which required considerable co-ordination of diverse parties within a buying and selling property chain. I'd like to thank Charles for his calm approach, whatever was in the offing, and his good humour throughout. I wish you all the very best in your career.
