Top 10 of 3,713 law firms for Death of a Loved One, Wills, Trusts & Probate

Law firms ranked by client reviews

This area covers what happens after someone dies, including dealing with the valid will, if there is one, and administering the estate. A solicitor helps identify executors, locate and interpret the will, gather assets, settle debts, pay the deceased’s taxes, and distribute assets to beneficiaries under the Probate Registry process. They may prepare and lodge probate papers, advise on trust administration, and handle claims against the estate or challenges to the will. The work can shape how much is received and who inherits what, and when the assets are released.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

A solicitor handles the complex steps of collecting the deceased’s assets, paying liabilities, applying for probate, valuing estates, and navigating potential disputes among beneficiaries. They also prepare accounts for the Probate Registry, assist with trusts, and coordinate with executors, beneficiaries, lenders, and tax authorities to ensure lawful, orderly administration.

Leah Waller

Tagged solicitor Leah Waller

I recently worked with Leah to draft my Will, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, she explained every step in clear, understandable terms. Leah was incredibly patient, answering all my questions and addressing my concerns with kindness and professionalism. Her expertise and dedication made a potentially stressful process smooth and manageable. I highly recommend Leah—she's an absolute asset to the law firm.

Adam FlemingJessica Dawkins

Tagged solicitors Adam Fleming and Jessica Dawkins

I am very impressed with the prompt, professional and understanding way both Adam & Jessica handled the situation. Whilst grieving the loss of my father, having the eldest of us as three sisters refuse to sign probate or communicate in anyway, was enormously stressful and emotional. Adam & Hess calm approach and clear advice, followed up with letters resolved the situation within a few weeks. Their knowledge and experience of these more frequently occurring situations is brilliant.
