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.

Amy Harris

Tagged solicitor Amy Harris

My wife and I are in our 90s and needed to make final wills and appoint Powers of Attorney - quite overwhelming tasks at our age involving several visits to our home and much paperwork. This was done by Amy in a friendly but professional way and after many months waiting for the Office of the Public Guardian to approve and register the documents all is now in place. All very much very much appreciated.

Charles Ling

Tagged solicitor Charles Ling

The trainee solicitor, Charles Ling was helpful, clear, professional and a pleasure to deal with. He managed the selling of a family, probate property which required considerable co-ordination of diverse parties within a buying and selling property chain. I'd like to thank Charles for his calm approach, whatever was in the offing, and his good humour throughout. I wish you all the very best in your career.

Tagged solicitors Alicia Nesham and Danielle Sullivan

Our family circumstances were such that we had to liaise with this firm from a distance, however this was no barrier or problematic. From the outset our dealings with their staff were excellent - professional, knowledgeable, extremely helpful organised and very approachable and friendly. It was refreshing to be able to speak directly to the relevant solicitor and be kept up to date with progress. We would certainly recommend them both for estate issues and conveyancing.
