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.

Tagged solicitor Richard Denby

My wife and I have in recent months engaged Richard into our Inheritance planning, he made what is quite a complex area very understandable. We have used Richard's services to amend our Wills, create LPA's and LFA's and finally create 2 Trusts with Deeds of Variation. I'm sure we will need more advice in this area in future.
