Top 10 of 3,713 law firms for Trustee in Bankruptcy, Wills, Trusts & Probate

Law firms ranked by client reviews

A trustee in bankruptcy takes over the debtor’s estate when a bankruptcy order is made, realises assets, pays costs, and distributes funds to creditors. A solicitor in this area advises on the appointment, the trustee’s duties, and the process of realising assets, dealing with claims, and filing the necessary reports and accounts with the Insolvency Service. The work often involves statutory investigations, reporting on the debtor’s conduct, and ensuring correct distribution of dividends to creditors.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The appointment triggers time-bound tasks: collecting assets, valuing them, paying priority debts, and distributing the remainder to creditors. The process is governed by the Insolvency Act 1986 and related insolvency rules, with the trustee required to act in the debtor’s and creditors’ best interests and to keep proper accounts and reports. The role carries fiduciary duties and potential consequences for mismanagement.

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.
