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.

Negar provided outstanding service from start to finish. She made the entire process clear, reassuring, and incredibly professional. Her attention to detail and her ability to explain everything simply gave me complete confidence. A solicitor who genuinely goes above and beyond — highly recommended.

Abbi Hancock

Tagged solicitor Abbi Hancock

I cannot thank Abbi enough for the support and professionalism she showed while helping me deal with matters relating to my late father’s estate. This has been an incredibly emotional and difficult time for me, but Abbi handled everything with great care, patience, and understanding. Her guidance throughout the process was clear, reassuring, and highly professional. She took the time to explain things properly and was always responsive whenever I had questions or needed reassurance. Her compassion and respectful approach made a situation that felt overwhelming much easier to manage. I am truly grateful for the help and support she provided and would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone needing a knowledgeable, reliable, and empathetic legal professional.

Really appreciated the support and guidance from Rachel, not just able to provide honest and clear guidance but was really just able to listen when I think that was what I needed the most. My concerns were treated compassionately and with empathy whilst giving me the direction I needed to move forward and I feel that I am back in control now. Thank you, cannot recommend highly enough!

David and Claire were extremely helpful in administering my mother’s Grant of Probate. From our initial meeting with David, who explained the process and advised on our situation, to Claire, who responded quickly to any queries and was very efficient in finalising this matter for us. Many thanks.
