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.

We contacted Sherrards for assistance with a Lifetime Will Trust in respect of my late father's estate. David Mulholland was extremely knowledgeable and efficient. He took us through the registration process step by step. Any queries we had were dealt with promptly and satisfactorily, and the matter has now been concluded. We would definitely recommend.

Rachael Scowcroft

Tagged solicitor Rachael Scowcroft

I have met Rachael on a few occasions as she has completed various legal work for myself and members of my family. I have found Rachael to be extremely professional, kind, thoughtful and just a truly genuine person. Rachael has shown nothing but kindness and compassion to myself and my family in some difficult circumstances. Rachael went above and beyond what I could ever of expected and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.
