Top 10 of 3,713 law firms for Succession Planning Advice, Wills, Trusts & Probate

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Succession planning advice covers arranging what happens to a person’s assets on death, including wills, trusts and related tax planning. A solicitor helps draft or update wills, set up trusts, appoint executors and guardians, and advise on inheritance tax and lifetime gifts. They may also assist with applying for probate or a similar grant of representation, and guide executors through the administration of an estate. The work can shape how, when and to whom wealth is distributed, and helps prevent disputes later on.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The consequences of poor planning can include unexpected tax bills, delays in the distribution of assets, and disputes among survivors. A solicitor provides clear advice on the steps needed to protect your position, ensure valid documentation, and manage deadlines for applying for probate and finalising an estate.

Excellent service we knew we had to do a will and LPA but didn't have a clue how to go about it our family had delt with these solicitors before so we thought we would give them a go, have to say very good choice. Our solicitor helped us and advised us every step of the way and also we received great value for money. Thanks for all your help. We would highly recommend.

Jasmin Marshall

Tagged solicitor Jasmin Marshall

We have recently used the Mapperley branch to sort out Grant of Probate and will also be using them for conveyancing. Jasmin Marshall who dealt with the probate was very professional but lovely at the same time. She put us at ease at what was a difficult time for us, and made the whole process much less painful. From start to finish it only took 3 weeks for probate to be granted and during that time we were kept fully informed. I can’t thank Jasmin and the team enough for what they did.

Charles Smalley

Tagged solicitor Charles Smalley

A thorough and professional service. The solicitor understood exactly what was needed and prepared a clear Deed of Variation that could be acted on by the executors. It took longer than the estimated 10 days, largely due to the unavoidable delays due to the long use of the paper post system.

Laura Ruffell

Tagged solicitor Laura Ruffell

Laura offered great advice when preparing our Wills and discussing our estate planning objectives. Her passion and enthusiasm really shone through during our meetings. Since Covid my wife and I have struggled to meet with professional services in person, as too many are keen to deal with matters remotely. It was very refreshing to offer to meet in person to discuss these important issues. Thank you for all your help with finalising our Wills so efficiently. I have already recommended Laura to our friends!

Zoe Nicholson

Tagged solicitor Zoe Nicholson

It was time to update the wills for both myself and my wife. We originally thought of a simple will, but having heard of other options, we chose a more in depth document would better suit our needs and give better protection of our assets. Zoe guided us through the process and explain things at a level we could understand. Can not be faulted.
