This area covers a child’s right to a share of a deceased parent’s estate, known in England as a legal rights claim. It involves challenging whether the parent’s will or intestacy correctly accounts for those rights and, if appropriate, recovering a portion of the estate for the child. A solicitor explains and pursues the claim, drafts the required notices, and negotiates with executors and other heirs, often guiding proceedings through the probate process and potential court disputes.

Where a solicitor protects your position

Legal rights claims protect a child’s reserved share of the estate, with deadlines that drive actions and potential consequences for how the estate is distributed. A solicitor ensures the correct calculation, flags improper distributions, registers any necessary claims, and argues for appropriate relief within the probate or court process, backed by professional accountability and client protections.

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.
