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.

Lea Maynard

Tagged solicitor Lea Maynard

Following the death of my husband, I was faced with the issues of dealing with transferring title of our jointly held French property (a very small house) into my name only and subsequently the sale of the house. I had no knowledge of the stages involved or how to approach them. These difficulties were compounded by a very unresponsive Notaire in France. Lea came to my rescue, explained the process and various stages involved and undertook the negotiations with the Notaire. It transpired to be a long process (although I now understand that it is inevitably much longer than in the UK) but Lea chased and followed up with the Notaire, resulting in a successful transfer of title and sale. This help and advice was invaluable. Always professional but kind, understanding and empathetic. Someone on whom I could rely. With my sincere thanks to Lea and to Buckles.

Rebecca Minns

Tagged solicitor Rebecca Minns

I found Rebecca Minns to be very helpful and professional. She clearly explained various aspects of updating my will. Changes were made and a few weeks later I was able to go into the office to have the will signed and witnessed. I was very happy with the service I received.

On the three occasions we have needed help and advice your solicitor Victoria Cross was excellent in helping us navigate what could have been very difficult time for us. We will never forget her kindness and understanding along with her secretary Lois who has always been extremely helpful. Thank you to them both.

Jay Marsh

Tagged solicitor Jay Marsh

Jay Marsh-Gasson assisted me in making changes to my existing Will. Jay's professional behaviour, knowledge, and open and warm demeanour was very welcome. I really appreciated the time I was given to consider relevant details during both appointments. Jay was also great at keeping in touch and responding to emails promptly. He was courteous throughout. I was also greeted by a friendly receptionist on my arrival. Although the offices in Salisbury could do with a bit of tlc, the service offered was second to none. I felt listened to and cared about, which was more important to me. Richard Griffiths & co. helped me with my previous Will and I happily recommend them, and Jay particularly, without any hesitation.
