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.

Sophie Hearle

Tagged solicitor Sophie Hearle

I received first class service from Sophie Hearle of Ashtons Legal dealing with the estate of my late father both here in the UK and in France. Sophie handled everything professionally and pragmatically with an human touch that was much appreciated in the difficult days that follow a bereavement. I would recommend her services and those of the whole Ashtons team very highly.

Meg Wilton

Tagged solicitor Meg Wilton

I was given Megs name when my husband sadly died, never the best start to meet your new solicitor, but I can say without a shadow of a doubt that Meg was, and is brilliant. She was so helpful and very kind, something you need when your clients head is all over the place and its the first time that you have had to deal with something this daunting. I am certain that there are many solicitors out there that are great, but I know that my family and I felt and indeed knew that we were in safe hands. We will continue to ask Meg to help in any further dealings as there is obviously no one better in our minds.

I recently had the privilege of working with Natasha on a particularly complex and emotionally challenging case involving the settlement of my late parents' estate. One of the major hurdles was tracking down a company that had ceased trading, which made the entire process even more daunting. From the very first telephone call, Natasha was a beacon of support, showing an incredible level of compassion and understanding during such a sad and difficult time. Natasha's levels of professionalism, knowledge, and dedication were truly outstanding. She kept me informed at every step, always explaining things clearly and fairly, so I never felt out of the loop. Natasha's friendly and approachable manner made a world of difference. She wasn’t just my solicitor; she became a comforting presence during a time of great uncertainty and grief. Natasha's persistence and expertise in tracking down the necessary information and navigating the legal complexities were remarkable. She was always available to answer my questions and went above and beyond to ensure the process was as smooth as possible. I cannot recommend Natasha enough to anyone seeking a solicitor. Her compassion, fairness, and professionalism was invaluable, and I will forever be grateful for her help during one of the most difficult times in my life.
