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.

Russell Ali

Tagged solicitor Russell Ali

We needed to revise our Wills in the light of changes in the tax laws and our circumstances. We chose J & P because they were both local and seemed to have very good reviews. It was a very good choice. We used the services of Russell Ali at their Sidcup office. Our Wills involved the setting up of a Trust the details of which Russell explained to us at some length. Russell was of course very knowledgeable but also very likeable and easy to talk to. We asked lots of questions but despite it being a fixed price arrangement, at no time did we feel rushed. Within a few days we received draft Wills which were accompanied by an extremely useful side letter explaining each clause in plain English. We then raised a number of email queries which were dealt with promptly. At the end of the exercise we were very happy to sign our new Wills feeling confident we had achieved our original objectives. We would definitely use J & P, and Russell in particular, again.

Tiffany Benson

Tagged solicitor Tiffany Benson

I was put in contact with Tiffany Benson in July 2022 relating to a problem I had with a Trust. I had spent 12 months dealing with another company and was appalled at the lack of progress. Tiffany Benson explained clearly the procedure involved and gave me advice / options as to how to progress. As a result, she has completed my request satisfactorily. She has answered all my queries promptly and informed me regularly as to the progress being made. Her help has been invaluable to say the least and I highly recommend her services.
