Top 10 of 695 law firms for Dependants, Inheritance Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Dependants' claims let close relatives or others who relied on the deceased for support seek a fair share of the estate under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975. A solicitor handles the legal mechanics of bringing or resisting such claims, assesses the deceased’s net estate, drafts and serves pleadings, gathers evidence of dependants’ financial needs, and represents the client in court proceedings in the High Court or County Court. The work is triggered by a death and hinges on careful evidence and timeline management.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The act keeps the door open to altering the distribution of an estate when a dependant’s financial needs are insufficiently met. A solicitor ensures timely filing of the claim, negotiates settlements, and, if necessary, presents evidence of need and dependence to judges, all within strict court deadlines and procedural rules. The outcome can redefine who inherits and in what proportion, with significant personal and financial consequences.

Jonathan Bridge

Tagged solicitor Jonathan Bridge

I contacted numerous solicitors to no avail, and felt like giving up, until Jonathan Bridge took the time to call me and discuss my CICA claim. His approach is at all times friendly, compassionate and professional. Besides feeling relief, I felt confident as he detailed his vast experience of working with the CICA, and whilst I secured an award on my own merit initially, I would not recommend this approach for future clients as ultimately it was Jonathan's professional capacity as a solicitor dealing with abuse that got me the award I deserved and for that I will be forever grateful. It is true that you do not need a solicitor to deal with your CICA claim, and the CICA is keen to advise this, but I cannot emphasize enough how important it is that you do, especially given the circumstances of my case which was reviewed by the CICA once again after Jonathan took over my claim. That he achieved the six figure sum in a matter of weeks is astonishing. I do not believe I could have achieved this without his professionalism in challenging the particular circumstances of the original reward.

Anna Fowler-Guest

Tagged solicitor Anna Fowler-Guest

Anna Fowler-Guest created mirror Wills for myself and my partner. We had been putting this off for years believing that it was going to be a long, arduous, uncomfortable and emotional process. However, Anna made this easy, taking us through step-by-step, taking the time to explain things (more than once) if needed. Anna went above and beyond by working over her weekend to get our Wills completed in advance of my partner going into hospital for a major operation. A year or so later, we decided to get married and Anna helped us easily make the amendments to our wills so that they were compliant. We found Anna to be extremely helpful, kind, patient and approachable and we would definitely recommend her services.

Hannah Goodeve

Tagged solicitor Hannah Goodeve

I contacted Parker Bullen when they offered a free consultation for volunteers and clients of Romsey Cancer Support Centre (Jane Scarth House). My husband had died and I had to write a new Will and Lasting Powers of Attorney, which was difficult for me but had to done. Hannah Goodeve understood my needs and helped me through the whole process. She was friendly, professional, efficient and kind. It was useful having face-to-face meeting. I have had dealing with six solicitors over the past 16 years to settle estates of relatives. I wish I known of Parker Bullen for my husband’s estate. Two of the six solicitors, I would not recommend to anyone. However, I would have no hesitation in recommending Parker Bullen, especially to those in my situation.
