Law firms ranked by client reviews

Disputes about wills, breaches of trust, or claims on an estate, including challenging or defending probate under the Inheritance Act 1975. A solicitor handles caveats, applications for probate or containers of administration, and court actions to resolve who benefits from an estate or to enforce or defend trust provisions. It includes advising on settlements, negotiating with executors, trustees, and potential beneficiaries, and guiding enforcement of court orders in County Courts or the High Court where needed.

Where a solicitor protects your position

I have known Ashtons for over 30 years and have always had a very good relationship. Amanda dealt with both of my parents probates and now my late wifes. She builds a strong rapport with me and conducts business in a calm and professional manner. She is very good with people.

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.

Chris HoltenSharnie Jenkins

Tagged solicitors Chris Holten and Sharnie Jenkins

I turned to Slee Blackwell after the solicitors I was originally using proved incompetent, leaving me with just one week before a court hearing. Chris Holten, his legal secretary Sharnie, and the barrister they instructed were absolutely amazing. They acted quickly, organised everything efficiently, and managed to secure a postponement on the hearing. The team then guided me through mediation and negotiated extremely well on my behalf. I cannot thank Chris, Sharnie, the barrister, and the firm enough for their professionalism, support, and expertise throughout a very stressful time. If you are dealing with an inheritance claim, I highly recommend Slee Blackwell. Be very careful who you choose—many solicitors have little or no experience in this area, as I unfortunately found out the hard way. With Slee Blackwell, you will be in expert hands.

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.
