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.

Alan Horne

Tagged solicitor Alan Horne

We just wanted to express our appreciation for the Will and Power of Attorney services provided by Kidwells Solicitors. What we all thought would be a reasonably straight forward process became significantly more complicated when our elderly relative suddenly found themselves hospitalised. This, coupled with a further complication could have been very stressful for our relative but these complications were professionally managed by our solicitor Alan Horne, who offered considered and easily understood guidance to our family. Alan ensured that all of the arrangements necessary to complete the work with a hospital confined client were carried out with ease. He kept us fully informed as to what was happening, a consideration he also extended to the hospital staff who were able to continue their duties without any disruption. We would have no hesitation in recommending Kidwells or Alan Horne to future clients.

Chris Strogen

Tagged solicitor Chris Strogen

As a former Executor, and now Trustee, I had approached Chris Strogen for legal advice and guidance to assist with a complex Trust situation. All through the process Chris helped to ensure that my approach was both legal and appropriate for the circumstances, appertaining to a convoluting Trust going back 80 years. This is the second time I have employed Chris with family law matters and he has always put me at ease. I have no hesitation in recommending Chris and Evolve Family Law Ltd.

We found Tollers excellent at giving clear advice over the free Will service. Their service was clear and efficient and we will not hesitate to use Tollers in the future.

1st class service from initial booking of appointment to completion. My solicitor was empathetic and professional and broke down complex "legal jargon" into plain understandable English. She handled my case in an unhurried & friendly calm manner.
