Weir Law Solicitors is named by clients as the firm that steered them through estate confirmation and will writing, two areas that recur across the accounts. A number of customers describe arriving after a do-it-yourself confirmation or probate application had failed, and they credit the assistance with securing the right outcome where matters had stalled. Tim Weir is mentioned often for clear guidance, including on inheritance tax and how it applies to cohabiting couples, while Tabitha is praised for patience and for guiding clients through a process they found overwhelming.

Something that features in review after review is responsiveness, with queries answered promptly, documents processed smoothly and appointments arranged at short notice. Reviews time and again mention thorough explanations of paperwork, questions welcomed without any sense of being a nuisance, and the kindness and professionalism of everyone dealt with. The reassurance of having a will or confirmation finally settled features in many accounts, as does the online chat service for specific queries about confirmation forms. Across the feedback, the willingness to explain complex matters patiently stands out, particularly in the handling of confirmation applications and the drafting of wills for cohabiting couples.
