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.

Another great service from N Legal who have just dealt with my probate and late mothers estate, the process was completely stress free, very fast and effectively efficient especially during these difficult times. I have been using the services of N Legal Solicitors for nearly two decades. First when I was a Sales Negotiator at a local estate agency, and since then, I have turned to their expertise multiple times for both buying and selling properties. Their service is consistently professional, communication is outstanding, and their attention to detail is exceptional. Kim and the team have always made me feel secure and supported throughout the entire process. Legal matters can be incredibly time-consuming and often confusing. Kim demonstrates both deep expertise and a confident ability to handle cases across various areas of law. I wholeheartedly recommend N Legal to anyone in need of legal advice.

Matthew Nicholls

Tagged solicitor Matthew Nicholls

I turned to Nicholls Solicitors to handle a complicated probate matter, and Matt has been nothing but professional, courteous, and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. He showed great understanding of the delicate nature of the situation and the emotional difficulty our family was facing at the time. His support made a challenging time much more manageable. I have no hesitation in recommending Nicholls Solicitors to anyone who asks, "Do you know of a good solicitor firm?" Glenn Trew
