Top 10 of 3,713 law firms for Estate Processing, Wills, Trusts & Probate

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Estate processing covers administering a deceased person’s affairs after death, including obtaining a grant of representation, collecting assets, paying debts and liabilities, and distributing the remaining assets to beneficiaries. A solicitor in this area may prepare and lodge probate or letters of administration, value and transfer assets, deal with banks, HMRC for any inheritance tax or income tax issues, and resolve claims from creditors or beneficiaries. The work is shaped by the size and complexity of the estate and any lifetime gifts or trusts involved.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The key decision is securing the correct grant of representation and completing any tax clearance requirements. A solicitor ensures deadlines are met, identifies liabilities and beneficiaries, and coordinates the collection and distribution of assets according to the will or the intestacy rules, while safeguarding the executor or administrator’s position through regulatory rules and proper accounting.

Julie Granger

Tagged solicitor Julie Granger

Kingfords dealt with my late wife's probate and also writing a new will for myself. Everything went smoothly with face to face meetings, telephone consultations and draft documents via email. I highly recommend Kingsfords and especially Julie Granger who dealt with my new Will. Also the secretaries were very helpful.

Leah Waller

Tagged solicitor Leah Waller

I recently worked with Leah to draft my Will, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, she explained every step in clear, understandable terms. Leah was incredibly patient, answering all my questions and addressing my concerns with kindness and professionalism. Her expertise and dedication made a potentially stressful process smooth and manageable. I highly recommend Leah—she's an absolute asset to the law firm.

Jessica Dawkins

Tagged solicitor Jessica Dawkins

I was my mother's sole executor and my brother and I were the sole beneficiaries. Over the past 3 years after my mother went into a care home, my brother had been very difficult. Having stolen £120,000 from my mother's bank accounts, he was furious when our mother revoked his power of attorney. He coerced her into revoking my power of attorney, but the care home alerted Kent County Council safeguarding team and the matter was investigated by the Office of the Public Guardian and my power of attorney remained,as my mother wanted. When it came to dealing with Robert as a beneficiary I knew he would be rude and bullying towards me. He wanted to know everything I had done as mother's attorney and my solicitor had already informed me that he had no rights to this information. I asked Jessica to communicate with my brother and send the inheritance to him. I therefore had no communication with my brother and no anxiety. Jessica gave my brother all the information concerning the estate that he needed and clearly but politely informed him of what he was not entitled to (anything that happened before mother's death).Jessica was very professional and my brother respected this and accepted the facts without argument, thus the estate was distributed very quickly. I cannot recommend Jessica highly enough, for anyone in a similar position, this will be money well spent.

Rachel Keegan

Tagged solicitor Rachel Keegan

Solicitor Rachel Keegan helped me at the most devastating time of my life. My husband suddenly passed away at a time when he had appeared to be fit and healthy, so it was an absolute shock. We had no children, so I was totally alone in the aftermath, and didn't know how to deal with my husband's estate. Someone recommended Fiona Bruce Solicitors to me, and Rachel was chosen as my probate solicitor. I cannot express enough how incredible she has been throughout it all. There were times when we hit brick walls, yet even though I suggested leaving those parts unsolved, Rachel carried on pushing through, searching, ringing people and companies to get to the root of things. She subsequently solved every problem as it appeared, and knocked down each brick wall. I sometimes didn't understand certain legal jargon, but Rachel had the patience to explain clearly each term and phrase to help me. Nothing was too difficult for her. She was determined to get me through the most difficult time of my life, and sympathised completely with my deep emotions of bereavement. I could not have coped without her, and I am truly thankful to her for dealing with my husband's complicated estate on my behalf. There are people who help us through times of despair, and we never forget them. I shall definitely never forget Rachel Keegan of Fiona Bruce Solicitors.

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.

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.
