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.

Tagged solicitor Pamela Horobin

Having routinely fallen out with various relatives and buried several others, I felt it was time to update my 2023 Will to avoid any posthumous confusion or dispute. As a wise cynic once remarked: "Where there's a Will, there's a Relative!" Progression Solicitors, in the delightful small town of Ulverston ( Cumbria) , were recommended to me and within a couple of weeks the whole procedure has been painlessly completed by Hannah Booth and her extremely helpful and efficient assistant, Saaima. I found all the Staff at Progression to be very friendly and approachable. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone seeking legal advice or assistance in our increasingly litigious, complex and bureaucratic society . My sincere thanks to all involved.
