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.

Annmarie Jones

Tagged solicitor Annmarie Jones

Annmarie Jones steered my wife and I thought the complexities of will and trust construction ensuring we had an optimal structure to benefit our children. Working with Annmarie was a joy, whilst Annmarie is a consummate professional she also remains a truly empathetic individual and sympathetic to ones individual position. We highly recomend her.

We valued the personal contact which enabled us us to be perfectly frank. We also valued the prompt action to expedite the process by email after the Royal Mail let us down. The office staff were especially helpful in this.

Acton Afonso

Tagged solicitor Acton Afonso

I want to thank Acton Afonso for his thoroughness and speed in handling my uncle’s case. We needed a will properly drafted and signed asap and Acton was prompt to execute everything we needed. He made himself very available to liaise with during a very stressful time. His communications were prompt. And my uncle was extremely pleased with his service when he met him. My uncle can be very particular, so the fact he was very happy with Acton’s conduct is a testament to his work ethic. 5/5 stars for positive manner, knowledge, speed and very clear communication. If the company offers any bonuses for their solicitors I’m personally asking that they give him the upper tier of whatever bonuses are available. I do customer service work so I know when someone is doing their role and when they are going above and beyond. Acton has gone above and beyond and I imagine that I will be requesting his services in the near future.
