Edward Powell

Senior Disputes Solicitor

Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

I am a senior solicitor in our Dispute Resolution team and I specialise in inheritance disputes. My inheritance dispute work can cover a wide range of work from disputing the validity of the will or helping resolve disputes between executors and beneficiaries. I qualified in 1998 and have conducted a wide range of litigation in the High Court, County Court, Coroner’s Court, and Probate Registry. Examples of recent cases: I successfully challenged the validity of a will in a multimillion-pound estate where there were allegations of fraud. Expert computer evidence and the Claimant's medical records proved the Will could not have been executed as claimed. I acted for an adult son who successfully challenged his father's will on the basis that it did not make reasonable provision for him. Although taking court action may be necessary I focus on trying to resolve a dispute and helping understand the personal and family dynamics of a situation can often help me advise on the best outcome for my client and find the best way to achieve it. I also use my many years of experience to advice on business disputes. Like all of Attwells’ lawyers, I am happy to discuss any potential matter on a ‘no charge, no-obligation basis. Outside of the office, I am a trustee of (a not-for-profit group of care homes) and I am also a founding trustee of the Colchester Half Marathon which is a great community event that also raised money for good causes.

Excellent and professional service throughout.

From the very first contact, our experience of Attwells has been extremely positive. Our solicitor, Ed Powell, has been excellent. He has been responsive, given clear, understandable advice, and has been willing to spend as much time as necessary with us, both by phone and in person.

Attwells helped me with the sale and purchase of my old and new homes and with my probate whilst going through a really tough time. I could not have asked for a better service, with such a small time frame they were extremely thorough and made the whole process very easy for me. I strongly recommend and shall use their services again in the future. Thank you

Very happy with the quality of the service from Attwells and particularly Edward Powell, Senior Solicitor. Edward and his team assisted me through a long and complex dispute and their support proved invaluable throughout. I highly recommend Attwells for any legal work and would use them again without hesitation.
