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.

Scott supported me when I urgently needed to make a new Will and update to my Power of Attorney . His caring and professional approach at a time of great stress for me was much appreciated. The new documents were drafted and signed within just a few days.

Kate Pambos

Tagged solicitor Kate Pambos

Contacted OWC to make new wills for my wife and myself. Appointment arranged within a couple of weeks with Kate Pambos. At the appointment we were impressed with her professionalism, depth of knowledge and found her very easy to get on with and approachable. She established our circumstances and wishes, at the same time highlighting matters that we had overlooked and suggesting options. The draft wills were sent to us for review and some changes made before we attended the office to sign the new documents. At each stage of the process it was easy to contact Kate or her secretary and our questions and queries were quickly and comprehensively answered.

Robyn MacNeil

Tagged solicitor Robyn MacNeil

We entrusted W&AS Bruce to prepare Wills and Powers of Attorney for both my wife and me. The whole process was handled very efficiently from start to finish, with sincere thanks to Robyn MacNeil. Additionally, we received clarification on behalf of my mum regarding her own Will and the full extent of her long standing Power of Attorney, which she had been unsure about. It was reassuring for her to know that everything was as she expected and that all documents were securely held. Legal matters can often be time consuming and complicated, but with the help of Robyn and the staff at W&AS Bruce, we felt we were treated with courtesy and respect throughout, and the whole process was far easier than we anticipated. We would happily recommend the services of Robyn and the solicitors as a whole to any prospective clients.
