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.

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.

Leanne Parkinson

Tagged solicitor Leanne Parkinson

I met Leanne recently regarding my LPA and she was absolutely brilliant. Leanne made me feel instantly at ease and explained the process very clearly. When I encountered a small issue she persisted until it was resolved and I can’t thank her enough. As a long standing client of Hartlaw LLP I would definitely recommend.
