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

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Legacies covers the gifts left in a will, and the broader work of handling a person’s Will, estate and final affairs after death. A solicitor practising in this area drafts, reviews and validates Wills and codicils, identifies bequests (legacies), and helps executors collect and distribute assets in accordance with the Will. They also apply for the grant of probate or letters of administration, identify potential inheritance tax issues, and communicate with beneficiaries, creditors and the Probate Registry to wind the estate up lawfully and efficiently.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The moment a will or estate plan is made, crucial decisions and deadlines can affect rights and asset distribution. A solicitor provides protection by guiding the executor through probate, securing the right of representation, and ensuring compliance with the Inheritance Tax regime and court procedures. They help with safeguarding assets, resolving disputes between beneficiaries, and managing the orderly distribution of legacies within the time limits set by law.

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.

All completed without fuss. We had a wonderful conversation about the Welsh alphabet and the translation on my will into Melanesian.

Meg was absolutely fantastic. Supported my sister and I throughout the inheritance tax / probate process after the death of our parents. We really appreciated her professional approach and the speed at which she completed the process. All queries were answered by return and Meg helped us through a very difficult period in our lives with her clarity and approachable manner.

Susan Owens

Tagged solicitor Susan Owens

I recently used Borneo Martell Turner Coulston to write my will, and I couldn't be more impressed with the service I received. From the first meeting, Susan was friendly, clear, and reassuring. Susan's calm, professional approach made what can, for some, be a daunting and emotional process, straightforward and stress-free. Susan explained everything in plain English, answered all questions patiently, and supported ably by Leanne ensured the final document truly reflected my wishes and that every detail was accurate and in line with what I wanted. I appreciated that during the process I felt listened to and respected. I'm grateful to all at BMTC for making the process so smooth. I recommend them to anyone seeking expert, compassionate support on such legal matters.

Charles Ling

Tagged solicitor Charles Ling

The trainee solicitor, Charles Ling was helpful, clear, professional and a pleasure to deal with. He managed the selling of a family, probate property which required considerable co-ordination of diverse parties within a buying and selling property chain. I'd like to thank Charles for his calm approach, whatever was in the offing, and his good humour throughout. I wish you all the very best in your career.
