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

Law firms ranked by client reviews

This work covers estates where debts exceed assets and there is not enough to pay all creditors. A solicitor helps identify assets, notify creditors, apply for probate or letters of administration, and realise assets to settle debts in the correct order. They draft and file the necessary forms, communicate with executors and beneficiaries, and liaise with insolvency practitioners or the probate registry when needed. The aim is to achieve a lawful distribution of what remains, within a formal insolvency framework.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

Insolvent estates involve tracing assets, paying preferential claims, and calculating how much can be distributed to creditors or beneficiaries. The solicitor handles reporting to the court, coordinating with the Insolvency Service or official receivers where applicable, and navigating any creditor challenges, misfeasance concerns, or tax matters that affect the distribution.

Very helpful and accommodating. Bit difficult to find the entrance to the office but we got there in the end. Disabled friendly, but no disabled toilet which is a bit unusual as it's a fairly new building, and they're well organised.

Fantastic service from the team at Scullion Law. Straight from the off, the customer service from Jennifer was fantastic helping me through booking my appointment and what to expect when I arrived. On the day, i was welcomed with open arms and Scott was also very helpful too during my appointment. The family vibe at Scullion law is very evident the moment you walk through the door. Thank you for the nice experience and looking after me.

Marc Dorsett

Tagged solicitor Marc Dorsett

I cannot rate Marc highly enough. He has helped me to navigate my way around some extremely complicated Trust Tax issues after the death of my father. Marc’s knowledge and experience within the Tax arena have been invaluable in ensuring the most cost effective decisions were made. I would not hesitate to use Marc and Gepps again should the need arise and happily recommend to friends and colleagues.

Rebecca EversonSarah Stainsby

Tagged solicitors Rebecca Everson and Sarah Stainsby

I had multiple legal matters to deal with at the same time and after contacting Hewitt's about one of them Rebecca took on my case and I was so impressed with how she dealt with it right from the onset going well above and beyond what I was expecting, so much so that before it had even been concluded I had decided to bring my other outstanding legal matters to Hewitt's (despite having an appointment already booked elsewhere for one). My second matter was delt with by another of solicitor 'Sarah' she also provided a fantastic service and was able to complete mine and my wife's wills within just a few weeks, explaining everything to us and answer all questions along the way. If I could rate the service I've had from these two solicitors and Hewitt's as a whole with 10 stars I would, but as I can't one thing I can and will certainly be doing is using Hewitt's for all my future legal matter going forward.

Hayden Bain

Tagged solicitor Hayden Bain

I had the unfortunate task of dealing with the executry of my late sister who passed away suddenly. In a time when I was not in a good place and struggling to cope with the legal and emotional aspects, Hayden was a beacon of support and professionalism. From the outset, he was exceptionally patient and understanding, guiding me through every step with clarity and compassion. His thorough knowledge and attention alleviated much of the stress I was experiencing. Hayden not only managed the legalities with the utmost competence but also provided invaluable advice on what needed to be done, making a difficult time much more manageable. I cannot recommend Hayden highly enough for anyone in need of a dedicated and empathetic solicitor. His support was instrumental during a challenging period, and I am immensely grateful for his service.

We found the process very easy. We had a fairly simple will so did not need too much advice. We had only a handful of meetings before the actual wills were signed. No complaints whatsoever.
