Dispute Resolution

Probate ... resolving family dispute

Three siblings, two siblings against one, all executors of the will with fives issues to be resolved. Mediation was suggested by friends but none of the siblings wanted to pay £10,000+. One sibling contacted Slater Heelis regarding resolution, in particular property, and was referred internally to Daniel Stern, Head of Property Litigation - Dispute Resolution. He dealt with the solicitors representing the other two siblings and wrote the settlement agreement which the other two siblings signed. Family relations have 'normalised'. Friends who have been through complicated divorces insisted I get a lawyer, or end up with nothing, are delighted with the outcome. Needless to say I am glad Daniel was my solicitor as he absolutely resolved the conflict.

Liam did a very professional job and put my wife and myself at ease on our first visit and kept us informed every step of the way and when we came in to sign our wills he went through and explained everything and made sure that we understood everything before signing them. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending Liam.

First choice for legal support. Which ever support and advice I have needed over the last 10 years then Slater Heelis has provided the perfect solution. In the most difficult circumstances of divorce, financial settlement and child access Mark Heptinstall guided me through, step by step, calmly and clearly, to reach satisfactory solutions. I even remember the judge commending him on the result he achieved in court in reaching an agreement. For numerous conveyancing requirements the team have always been extremely efficient and thorough. Daniel Henderson is spot on every time. Quick and easy Will preparation see Chris Partington. Extremely glad I was introduced to the firm.

Thank you for your review. We appreciate the positive feedback you have given us and look forward to working with you in the future.

I had an excellent experience with Chloe Huggins during a difficult family law matter. She was highly professional, knowledgeable, and empathetic, making me feel completely understood. Her communication was outstanding with clear explanations of the process. I also really appreciated that she was completely upfront with costs from the start. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Excellent.

I engaged Slater Heelis to support the purchase of my first property - I couldn’t be more satisfied with the service provided to me by Helen Young and the team. Helen guided me through the various aspects of buying and always made time for my questions. Her expertise was apparent throughout the process, and she worked promptly with autonomy. I would recommend Slater Heelis, especially Helen, very highly.
