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.

Nicole BarrsSamantha Smith

Tagged solicitors Nicole Barrs and Samantha Smith

From the beginning Nicole and Sam were always there to advise me, hold my hand, and help me navigate the foreign legalities of the UK. In addition, everyone I had contact with in the office was unfailingly kind and helpful. When I have the good fortune of returning to Sunderland, I will definitely seek you out. It goes without saying that I would recommend your Firm without hesitation. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Maria is an accomplished professional. Friendly and approachable yet equally able to guide you through the process, seamlessly. Great advice, not just for my Will, which will eventually cross international borders, but for future situations arising within the family. Thanks again Maria

Lea Maynard

Tagged solicitor Lea Maynard

Following the death of my husband, I was faced with the issues of dealing with transferring title of our jointly held French property (a very small house) into my name only and subsequently the sale of the house. I had no knowledge of the stages involved or how to approach them. These difficulties were compounded by a very unresponsive Notaire in France. Lea came to my rescue, explained the process and various stages involved and undertook the negotiations with the Notaire. It transpired to be a long process (although I now understand that it is inevitably much longer than in the UK) but Lea chased and followed up with the Notaire, resulting in a successful transfer of title and sale. This help and advice was invaluable. Always professional but kind, understanding and empathetic. Someone on whom I could rely. With my sincere thanks to Lea and to Buckles.

I found Rebecca Minns to be very helpful and professional. She clearly explained various aspects of updating my will. Changes were made and a few weeks later I was able to go into the office to have the will signed and witnessed. I was very happy with the service I received.

Michelle Phillips

Tagged solicitor Michelle Phillips

I had the pleasure of working with Michelle Phillips on a will and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very first consultation, her professionalism, expertise, and dedication were evident. She navigated complex legal issues with clarity, ensuring I understood every step of the process. Her responsiveness and attention to detail gave me complete confidence, and her ability to provide tailored advice truly set them apart. I felt genuinely supported throughout, knowing that my best interests were always her priority. If you’re looking for a solicitor who is knowledgeable, approachable, and committed to achieving the best outcome, I wholeheartedly recommend KLR solicitors.
