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.

Tagged solicitor Amy Harris

My wife and I are in our 90s and needed to make final wills and appoint Powers of Attorney - quite overwhelming tasks at our age involving several visits to our home and much paperwork. This was done by Amy in a friendly but professional way and after many months waiting for the Office of the Public Guardian to approve and register the documents all is now in place. All very much very much appreciated.

We instructed Alster Kelley to deal with our recent purchase. Helen Checketts was our solicitor and was excellent and responsive in her communication throughout. Buying a house can be stressful but she made it a pleasant experience! I would highly recommend both Helen and Alsters Kelley.

Susan Owens

Tagged solicitor Susan Owens

I recently used Borneo Martell Turner Coulston to write my will, and I couldn't be more impressed with the service I received. From the first meeting, Susan was friendly, clear, and reassuring. Susan's calm, professional approach made what can, for some, be a daunting and emotional process, straightforward and stress-free. Susan explained everything in plain English, answered all questions patiently, and supported ably by Leanne ensured the final document truly reflected my wishes and that every detail was accurate and in line with what I wanted. I appreciated that during the process I felt listened to and respected. I'm grateful to all at BMTC for making the process so smooth. I recommend them to anyone seeking expert, compassionate support on such legal matters.

Charles Ling

Tagged solicitor Charles Ling

The trainee solicitor, Charles Ling was helpful, clear, professional and a pleasure to deal with. He managed the selling of a family, probate property which required considerable co-ordination of diverse parties within a buying and selling property chain. I'd like to thank Charles for his calm approach, whatever was in the offing, and his good humour throughout. I wish you all the very best in your career.

I had to contact Hayley when my husband passed away suddenly. Not only did she handle everything professional but was supportive and very kind. I was at a loss as to where to start. Hayley was sincere and explained everything clearly. I would not hesitate to contact Hayley again if I ever need legal help.

Tagged solicitors Alicia Nesham and Danielle Sullivan

Our family circumstances were such that we had to liaise with this firm from a distance, however this was no barrier or problematic. From the outset our dealings with their staff were excellent - professional, knowledgeable, extremely helpful organised and very approachable and friendly. It was refreshing to be able to speak directly to the relevant solicitor and be kept up to date with progress. We would certainly recommend them both for estate issues and conveyancing.
