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.

Emma Hegarty

Tagged solicitor Emma Hegarty

I have known Brachers as a firm for many years and always held them in the highest regard. I was recommended to go to Emma Hegarty by a partner whom I have known for a very long time when my wife and I decided it was high time we put wills in place. The service and advice we received from Emma was second to none - prompt, comprehensive and wholly suited to our situation. we could not have been better served. Roger and Ruth Eastman
