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.

Liz Nevey

Tagged solicitor Liz Nevey

Have always found Heringtons to be efficient and friendly. Make you feel relaxed and explain some of the more technical issues in a way that is easily understandable for a mere mortal. Liz Nevey has recently held my hand through applying for LPOA and I couldnt have done it without her - and her team.

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.

Fantastic service from the team at Scullion Law. Straight from the off, the customer service from Jennifer was fantastic helping me through booking my appointment and what to expect when I arrived. On the day, i was welcomed with open arms and Scott was also very helpful too during my appointment. The family vibe at Scullion law is very evident the moment you walk through the door. Thank you for the nice experience and looking after me.

Hayden Bain

Tagged solicitor Hayden Bain

I had the unfortunate task of dealing with the executry of my late sister who passed away suddenly. In a time when I was not in a good place and struggling to cope with the legal and emotional aspects, Hayden was a beacon of support and professionalism. From the outset, he was exceptionally patient and understanding, guiding me through every step with clarity and compassion. His thorough knowledge and attention alleviated much of the stress I was experiencing. Hayden not only managed the legalities with the utmost competence but also provided invaluable advice on what needed to be done, making a difficult time much more manageable. I cannot recommend Hayden highly enough for anyone in need of a dedicated and empathetic solicitor. His support was instrumental during a challenging period, and I am immensely grateful for his service.
