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.

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.

Tagged solicitor Ruth Pannell

I met Ruth many years ago at a networking event and knew then that I would use her services as she was so friendly and supportive. Ruth did my will and both power of attorney. I had a few meetings to discuss my needs and explained how the process works extremely well. I highly recommend using Ruth . Thank you
