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.

Katharine Whittingham

Tagged solicitor Katharine Whittingham

We had a fantastic experience working with Katharine Whittingham to draft our wills. She was incredibly thorough, patient, and clear in explaining all the legal nuances, and guided us through several iterations to make sure every possibility was thoughtfully covered. Her attention to detail and ability to make complex matters feel manageable gave us real peace of mind. The firm was recommended by the National Trust, and we’re very glad we followed that advice. Highly recommended.

Cherrie Powell

Tagged solicitor Cherrie Powell

We recently worked with Cherrie to re-write our Wills. The legal support and service from Cherrie and all the team at JPC Solicitors, in Caerphilly, was exemplary. We found Cherrie was incredibly approachable and patient with us when faced with making decisions etc. Communication channels were excellent and Cherrie would always reply to both out telephone calls and digital enquiries, quickly and diligently. We felt in safe hands with regard to her legal knowledge. We would not hesitate to recommend Cherrie as a Solicitor. We would definitely return to access her legal services.
