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.

Lea Maynard

Tagged solicitor Lea Maynard

Following the death of my husband, I was faced with the issues of dealing with transferring title of our jointly held French property (a very small house) into my name only and subsequently the sale of the house. I had no knowledge of the stages involved or how to approach them. These difficulties were compounded by a very unresponsive Notaire in France. Lea came to my rescue, explained the process and various stages involved and undertook the negotiations with the Notaire. It transpired to be a long process (although I now understand that it is inevitably much longer than in the UK) but Lea chased and followed up with the Notaire, resulting in a successful transfer of title and sale. This help and advice was invaluable. Always professional but kind, understanding and empathetic. Someone on whom I could rely. With my sincere thanks to Lea and to Buckles.

Kiri Nichols

Tagged solicitor Kiri Nichols

Many thanks Kiri and team with helping our family manage our parents estate. It was a very upsetting time losing both parents so close together, however, your help and professionalism in this matter was very supportive. For me I felt with both John & Joyce we didn't lose their identity in all the paperwork which was important to me and for which I am eternally grateful. Many thanks once again.

I found Rebecca Minns to be very helpful and professional. She clearly explained various aspects of updating my will. Changes were made and a few weeks later I was able to go into the office to have the will signed and witnessed. I was very happy with the service I received.

On the three occasions we have needed help and advice your solicitor Victoria Cross was excellent in helping us navigate what could have been very difficult time for us. We will never forget her kindness and understanding along with her secretary Lois who has always been extremely helpful. Thank you to them both.

Jay Marsh

Tagged solicitor Jay Marsh

Jay Marsh-Gasson assisted me in making changes to my existing Will. Jay's professional behaviour, knowledge, and open and warm demeanour was very welcome. I really appreciated the time I was given to consider relevant details during both appointments. Jay was also great at keeping in touch and responding to emails promptly. He was courteous throughout. I was also greeted by a friendly receptionist on my arrival. Although the offices in Salisbury could do with a bit of tlc, the service offered was second to none. I felt listened to and cared about, which was more important to me. Richard Griffiths & co. helped me with my previous Will and I happily recommend them, and Jay particularly, without any hesitation.
