Top 10 of 3,713 law firms for Practical Guide to Bereavement, Wills, Trusts & Probate

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Bereavement practicalities in England cover the steps after a death to deal with the deceased’s estate, including applying for a grant of probate or letters of administration, locating and valuing assets, paying debts and handling Inheritance Tax where due, and distributing what remains to beneficiaries under the will or the intestacy rules. A solicitor helps prepare and submit the correct forms, advises on tax positions, engages with banks and assets held in estates, and represents the client in matters relating to estate administration and probate proceedings in the courts. The process is shaped by the Probate Registry, the Inheritance Tax regime, and the obligations of executors or administrators to gather assets, settle liabilities, and distribute estate assets lawfully and efficiently.

Andrew Milburn

Tagged solicitor Andrew Milburn

Andrew helped us at a very difficult time with my dad dying suddenly leaving my mum struggling in many ways. He respected our approach to tackling the probate process, was very calm, kind and informed helping every step of the way. He was always available to help and gave the best advice. We could not have done it all without him.

Faraz Manzur

Tagged solicitor Faraz Manzur

We were very impressed with the whole setup of Sweeney Miller and especially with Faraz who was friendly and professional also. The costs were discussed before the process started and didn't change throughout. The process of making the will was explained from the start and was straightforward. In the final meeting, Faraz explained the will point by point and we were in no doubt about matters.

We couldn’t recommend Thomas Flavell and Sons more highly. Their service throughout has been fantastic. Efficient, personable and always available when we needed them on the phone or by email. Rachel and Jamie gave us the service that we needed making a stressful time as stress free as they possibly could for us.
