Law firms ranked by client reviews

This work covers obtaining a grant of probate or letters of administration by swearing an oath and submitting the papers to the Probate Registry after someone dies. A solicitor helps gather the death certificate, the will (if any), and a schedule of assets and liabilities, prepares the oath and supporting affidavits, and lodges the application for the grant. They then help collect assets, notify banks and government bodies, pay debts and taxes, and distribute the estate according to the will or law.

Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor

A failed or delayed grant may expose executors to personal liability for debts and missed deadlines. A solicitor provides professional accountability, manages client money through a protected client account, and ensures compliance with regulatory requirements, including probate procedure and duties under the Administration of Estates.

Michael Brierley

Tagged solicitor Michael Brierley

I honestly cannot recommend Michael highly enough. The professional and empathetic support he provided, made the most difficult time of my life, more bearable. I enlisted Michael's help when my partner died without a will. We owned a house together, and, as you would expect, our lives were inextricably linked. I did not know where I stood or what would happen, which felt very scary at a time when my world had already been turned upside down. Michael takes a holistic approach to his cases, expertly advising on the legalities but also taking account of the emotions of the situation. After our first meeting, I immediately felt more informed on the situation and also reassured that whatever was going to happen I would have Michael in my corner to help. His communication was excellent throughout and very proactive. In the end, everything was resolved amicably but the peace of mind it gave me knowing I had Michael to help was invaluable to me. I honestly don't know how I would have coped without his advice and support. Thankyou Michael

Samuel Jones

Tagged solicitor Samuel Jones

We made an appointment for Samuel to witness and swear some documents for probate in the Isle of Man. The first time our application was denied (not due to anything Samuel had done but an error on our part. We went back with a bit of further info and Samuel signed and swore but not just that, he did some research to find out exactly what we needed to send back to the court in the Isle of Man. Pleased to say that our application has now been successful and probate has been granted, thanks to Samuel’s excellent advice I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Samuel. Thank you.

Charlotte  Smith

Tagged solicitor Charlotte Smith

My wife and I have been clients of Boyes Turner for many years and had set up Enduring Power of Attorney in 2000. We decided that we needed to change this in keeping with recent changes in the law, and to renew our Lasting Power of Attorneys for both our Property and Financial Affairs and Health and Welfare. Charlotte Smith, was our point of contact and guided us through the process. She was very helpful, efficient and well informed. She made everything understandable and straightforward. We would happily recommend her services.
