Top 10 of 3,713 law firms for Probate Instructions, Wills, Trusts & Probate

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Probate Instructions covers arranging and guiding the process of applying for a grant of probate after a death, and administering the estate in England. A solicitor in this area drafts or reviews the probate papers, helps identify the executor(s), collects and values assets, settles Inheritance Tax and other liabilities, contacts banks and beneficiaries, and registers the grant with the Probate Registry. They also provide practical steps for dealing with estate assets, debts and distribution in line with the deceased’s will or the rules of intestacy.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The process hinges on time-sensitive steps such as notifying HMRC, obtaining the Grant of Probate, and distributing assets. A solicitor ensures the correct forms are completed, handles any challenges or disputes, and coordinates with executors and beneficiaries to protect the estate from missteps, delays, or misdelivery of funds.

Maia Creed

Tagged solicitor Maia Creed

Maia was very helpful in simplifying and preparing what felt initially a fairly complex Will to sort. Maia was very focused and professional throughout our meeting, keeping the subject matter on point and was very efficient with our time spent with her.

I have known Ashtons for over 30 years and have always had a very good relationship. Amanda dealt with both of my parents probates and now my late wifes. She builds a strong rapport with me and conducts business in a calm and professional manner. She is very good with people.

Kalim Akhtar

Tagged solicitor Kalim Akhtar

I had previously dealt with Kalim in relation to the sale of my late father’s property, so when it came to handling the sale of my late mother’s property, I did not hesitate to instruct him again. Kalim was thorough, efficient, communicative and professional throughout the entire process. He kept me updated regularly, handled matters promptly. It was genuinely a pleasure dealing with Kalim and I am extremely grateful for all of his help and support. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable solicitor, and I will definitely use him again in the future.
