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.

Chris Strogen

Tagged solicitor Chris Strogen

As a former Executor, and now Trustee, I had approached Chris Strogen for legal advice and guidance to assist with a complex Trust situation. All through the process Chris helped to ensure that my approach was both legal and appropriate for the circumstances, appertaining to a convoluting Trust going back 80 years. This is the second time I have employed Chris with family law matters and he has always put me at ease. I have no hesitation in recommending Chris and Evolve Family Law Ltd.

Julie Granger

Tagged solicitor Julie Granger

Kingfords dealt with my late wife's probate and also writing a new will for myself. Everything went smoothly with face to face meetings, telephone consultations and draft documents via email. I highly recommend Kingsfords and especially Julie Granger who dealt with my new Will. Also the secretaries were very helpful.

I recently worked with Leah to draft my Will, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, she explained every step in clear, understandable terms. Leah was incredibly patient, answering all my questions and addressing my concerns with kindness and professionalism. Her expertise and dedication made a potentially stressful process smooth and manageable. I highly recommend Leah—she's an absolute asset to the law firm.
