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.

Used Frodshams solicitors following the deaths of both my Father and Mother and can honestly say that I could not have been better looked after. Following my Mother's death her estate was taken through probate by Kirsty Strong. The moment you meet Kirsty you know you are in good hands. Kirsty's professionalism, her care and her expertise are second to none and when you are grieving and your world is upside down it's really good to have her in your corner along with her wonderful team, Isabella and Lizzie in particular and Joel who was so kind and helpful following my Father's death. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kirsty and the team to anyone.
