Top 10 of 15 law firms for Beneficiary Claims, Wills, Trusts & Probate | Taunton, Somerset

Law firms ranked by client reviews

This area covers claims by people who would benefit from a deceased person’s estate, typically under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975, when they believe the will or the laws of intestacy do not fairly provide for them. A solicitor handling these matters helps the claimant prepare and present a claim to the court, gather evidence of need and relationship to the deceased, and negotiate or argue about what provision should be made. The process can involve collecting financial records, valuing assets, and engaging with executors, trustees, and possibly other beneficiaries to resolve the dispute.

Chris HoltenSharnie Jenkins

Tagged solicitors Chris Holten and Sharnie Jenkins

I turned to Slee Blackwell after the solicitors I was originally using proved incompetent, leaving me with just one week before a court hearing. Chris Holten, his legal secretary Sharnie, and the barrister they instructed were absolutely amazing. They acted quickly, organised everything efficiently, and managed to secure a postponement on the hearing. The team then guided me through mediation and negotiated extremely well on my behalf. I cannot thank Chris, Sharnie, the barrister, and the firm enough for their professionalism, support, and expertise throughout a very stressful time. If you are dealing with an inheritance claim, I highly recommend Slee Blackwell. Be very careful who you choose—many solicitors have little or no experience in this area, as I unfortunately found out the hard way. With Slee Blackwell, you will be in expert hands.

We found the process very easy. We had a fairly simple will so did not need too much advice. We had only a handful of meetings before the actual wills were signed. No complaints whatsoever.

Michael Brierley

Tagged solicitor Michael Brierley

I was forced to seek representation in an unexpected dispute with my sibling regarding the estate of my parent, for whom we were both designated executors. Michael was recommended to me and I could not have asked for better representation. He handled a very difficult issue during this emotionally charged time with a deep knowledge of the law, a keen understanding of human motivations and frailties, and a sensitivity to the need to manage legal costs. I was not happy to find myself in this situation, but very happy to have found Michael to help me through it. Through his guidance and firm but understanding presentation of the issues, I'm glad to report that not only was the outcome positive but also a potential permanent rift in the family was avoided. I hope I do not need such services again, but am glad to know that Michael would be there to guide me.
