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.

Pamela Horobin

Tagged solicitor Pamela Horobin

Having routinely fallen out with various relatives and buried several others, I felt it was time to update my 2023 Will to avoid any posthumous confusion or dispute. As a wise cynic once remarked: "Where there's a Will, there's a Relative!" Progression Solicitors, in the delightful small town of Ulverston ( Cumbria) , were recommended to me and within a couple of weeks the whole procedure has been painlessly completed by Hannah Booth and her extremely helpful and efficient assistant, Saaima. I found all the Staff at Progression to be very friendly and approachable. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone seeking legal advice or assistance in our increasingly litigious, complex and bureaucratic society . My sincere thanks to all involved.
