Top 10 of 3,713 law firms for Death, Wills, Trusts & Probate

Law firms ranked by client reviews

This area covers death-related matters under English law, including probate, administration of estates, and the distribution of assets after someone dies. A solicitor in this field advises executors and administrators, prepares and submits grant applications for probate or letters of administration, gathers and values the deceased’s assets, pays debts and taxes, and oversees the transfer of property to beneficiaries. They also help with intestacy planning, catch-up for tax liabilities, and dealing with banks, government bodies, and insurers on behalf of the estate.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The solicitor’s role concentrates on securing the estate by applying for the correct grant (probate or administration), identifying heirs, and ensuring timely payment of liabilities, debts and taxes. They ensure proper distribution of assets under the will or intestacy rules, and manage key steps such as asset realisation, safeguarding bank accounts and title to property, and coordinating with executors, trustees or beneficiaries as required.

Alison Courtenay was very professional, approachable & knowledgeable & put us at ease. We even managed to have a few laughs, even though this was a serious & sensitive matter of finalising our Wills.

Anne Stennett

Tagged solicitor Anne Stennett

I cannot praise Anne Stennett and Josephine Manini enough. Managing my Dad’s grant of probate from the US while they are based in the UK could have been a daunting process, but they made it entirely seamless. Their expertise, clear communication, and genuine care alleviated so much stress during an already difficult time. They handled every detail with precision and compassion, truly going above and beyond. I am forever grateful for their outstanding support and would highly recommend their services to anyone in need of top-notch legal assistance.
