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.

Ethan Murray

Tagged solicitor Ethan Murray

We recently completed on a house purchase which was overseen by Ethan Murray of your firm. The service we received from Ethan exhibited such a high degree of professionalism, excellence and tact that I cannot help but praise him. Truth be told, before beginning the conveyancing process, friends and family often told me how slow and tedious solicitors can sometimes be when dealing with conveyancing, I personally think that most of this stems from an ignorance the general public have on the complexities involved, but nonetheless, all I can say to people I talk to is: that was not my experience. Ethan consistently updated us, sometimes multiple times a week, even just to say that he had chased the vendors legal team, when questions arose, he answered them, jargon-free, and explained matters with clarity. Ethan, in my view, is a credit to not only your firm, but the profession at large. I genuinely wish him a very bright and prosperous future ahead, it has been a pleasure dealing with him. Indeed, I will be contacting him in the not too distance future about getting a couple of wills drafted for myself and my wife.
