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.

Maia was very helpful in simplifying and preparing what felt initially a fairly complex Will to sort. Maia was very focused and professional throughout our meeting, keeping the subject matter on point and was very efficient with our time spent with her.

I have known Ashtons for over 30 years and have always had a very good relationship. Amanda dealt with both of my parents probates and now my late wifes. She builds a strong rapport with me and conducts business in a calm and professional manner. She is very good with people.

Danielle Syed

Tagged solicitor Danielle Syed

During a relatively complex property purchase it became apparent that my husband and I would need a Declaration of Trust. Once we got into contact with Danielle, she quickly understood our needs and was able to answer our many questions. She rapidly produced a Declaration that answered our needs whilst also ensuring other interested parties would accept the document. We were able to provide feedback that was quickly integrated. Overall the process was very smooth, especially considering it was not something we had originally planned to do. I can highly recommend Danielle to manage your Private Wealth legal needs.

From the first call, Ailidh has been a pleasure to deal with. I lost my wife of over 40 years. Ailidh has been so patient with me. She's been so clear and she kept me informed all the time. I love our chats on the phone!
