Top 10 of 4,157 law firms for Inheritance Act claims, Family Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

This area covers claims for provision from a deceased person’s estate under the Inheritance Act 1975 when a person believes the will, or the lack of one, does not make reasonable provision for their future. A solicitor helps you understand eligibility, gather evidence of need, and prepare the court application, which may involve medical or financial records, witnesses, and valuations. They liaise with the Probate Registry and the Chancery Division of the High Court to present and respond to arguments about fair provision.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The act sets out the grounds for claiming, including dependants’ and spouses’ reasonable expectations. A solicitor explains the impact of the deceased’s assets and debts, and structures a claim for provision that reflects needs such as housing, income, or care costs, while addressing potential refusals, counterclaims, or settlements.

Devorah Ormonde

Tagged solicitor Devorah Ormonde

My cousin brought a claim against my uncle's estate (of which I am a beneficiary) under "The Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975", and the independent administrator of an estate advised me to seek legal advice from a specialist ACTAPS solicitor. The independent administrator provided me with a huge directory of ACTAPS solicitors, and I initially felt lost. By looking at reviews (online), I was very impressed by what clients said about RFB, and (in particular) the partner Devorah Ormonde. I really did not know what to expect at my initial meeting, but when I met Devorah, I knew I was dealing with someone who was highly professional. Devorah quickly put my mind at rest, as she had dealt with many other similar claims (on both sides). After using her managerial skills to bring all parties to the table for the 'standstill agreement', Devorah negotiated a favourable 'settlement agreement' with my cousin's lawyers, thus preventing the need for costly proceedings to be issued. Devorah always kept me up to date by email and provided me with a detailed billing guide at short notice. Devorah's services were worth every penny. I was very lucky to find such a great solicitor who was an expert in her field. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

Tia Harrison

Tagged solicitor Tia Harrison

Tia recently assisted me with a particularly complicated and onerous legal situation. Time was of the essence, Tia's approach was professional, pragmatic and robust, always prompt and absolutely reliable with regard responding to myself and other parties involved. As previously stated we had little time however Tia's knowledge and expertise became very evident very quickly. The case was successful and I have no doubt that this was due not only to Tia's experience and capabilities but also down to her sincere approach, ability to listen and take the time to understand. I would engage again without a moment's hesitation and I cannot recommend to others more highly.

It was a very difficult time and Nicola always gave great advice, even when I wasn't very open to hearing it! It was good to know I had someone knowledgeable and sensible in my corner and I was very pleased with the final outcome.
