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.

Julia Cole

Tagged solicitor Julia Cole

Julia was absolutely on part. Her approachability, compassion and empathy were 1st class. No question I asked was answered with anything other than complete knowledge as was her advice. At a time when I was bereft at losing my husband and I needed sound advice Julia was there for me and my children. I would have no hesitation in recommending Julia

Tagged solicitors Claire Morgan, Kirsten Philp and Lynsey Rintoul

My husband and I recently used Morgan’s following a bereavement. We were looked after brilliantly by Lindsey Rintoul for the executory and Claire Morgan and Kirsten Philp for the conveyancing. No matter how small, nothing was too much trouble, they helped us through a very distressing time and we cannot thank them enough.

Alan Horne took care of my case during an extremely stressful period after the death of my husband. He was very caring and informative throughout. Alan was extremely approachable and always available at the end of a phone. I would have no hesitation in employing him again and have recommended him to several friends.

Hina Ditta

Tagged solicitor Hina Ditta

I am so delighted with the way Hina Ditta prepared my will. I could tell from our first meeting that I was in ‘safe hands’. She listened so carefully and the succinct questions that she asked showed that. Hina is highly personable and guided me expertly through the pros and cons of the detail of my wishes for my Will. My draft Will came to me very shortly after our meeting and it had captured all that I wanted. Hina included a really helpful ‘compendium’ of explanations of some of the legal terms of my Will. I found that invaluable. She also offered further advice of certain inclusions that would help upon my death. My second meeting with Hina was equally welcoming and warm and really completely hassle free. The final Will contains all that I wanted. The fee for Will writing was what I had expected. No surprises and I would not hesitate to recommend Hina.
