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.

Chose BP Collins after searching for a UK solicitor online. I needed a solicitor quickly to deal with the cash sale of an inherited property. I was impressed by the Trustpilot score and reviews and was further impressed by the rapid and professional response to my initial query, which was superior to the other firms I contacted. Costs were clear and upfront and I was very happy with the way they advised and dealt with the sale of the property in question. I would happily use them again should the occasion arise, and would definitely recommend them.

My father and I recently used the services of Nelsons Leicester branch to manage a bereavement. From the offset we were most impressed with the way everything was dealt with. Thanks to both Nadia and Judith(who provided the welcome coffee) for providing a professional service.
