Top 10 of 3,713 law firms for Beneficiary Claims, Wills, Trusts & Probate

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.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The key risk is that a court decides the deceased’s arrangements do not adequately provide for a dependent or certain family members, with potential significant changes to the estate. A solicitor’s role includes interpreting the Act, coordinating financial disclosure, advising on deadlines, and presenting the case to the appropriate court to secure a fair provision.

Karen Woods

Tagged solicitor Karen Woods

My family and I used Russell & Russell for the sale of our late mother’s property. Karen Woods and her team provided an excellent service. They were supportive, approachable and always responded quickly to questions and queries. The online portal was easy to use and aided the smooth running of the conveyancing. I’d have no hesitation in using their service in the future or recommending them to others.

I was one of the executors in an estate and a claim was brought against us by a beneficiary. Tom and Tim gave me practical and straightforward legal advice during the Court case and navigated us through a complex and difficult situation for the family. I would not hesitate to recommend them!

Devorah Ormonde

Tagged solicitor Devorah Ormonde

My cousin brought a claim against my uncle's estate (of which I am a beneficiary) under "The Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975", and the independent administrator of an estate advised me to seek legal advice from a specialist ACTAPS solicitor. The independent administrator provided me with a huge directory of ACTAPS solicitors, and I initially felt lost. By looking at reviews (online), I was very impressed by what clients said about RFB, and (in particular) the partner Devorah Ormonde. I really did not know what to expect at my initial meeting, but when I met Devorah, I knew I was dealing with someone who was highly professional. Devorah quickly put my mind at rest, as she had dealt with many other similar claims (on both sides). After using her managerial skills to bring all parties to the table for the 'standstill agreement', Devorah negotiated a favourable 'settlement agreement' with my cousin's lawyers, thus preventing the need for costly proceedings to be issued. Devorah always kept me up to date by email and provided me with a detailed billing guide at short notice. Devorah's services were worth every penny. I was very lucky to find such a great solicitor who was an expert in her field. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

Tagged solicitors Rebecca Everson and Sarah Stainsby

I had multiple legal matters to deal with at the same time and after contacting Hewitt's about one of them Rebecca took on my case and I was so impressed with how she dealt with it right from the onset going well above and beyond what I was expecting, so much so that before it had even been concluded I had decided to bring my other outstanding legal matters to Hewitt's (despite having an appointment already booked elsewhere for one). My second matter was delt with by another of solicitor 'Sarah' she also provided a fantastic service and was able to complete mine and my wife's wills within just a few weeks, explaining everything to us and answer all questions along the way. If I could rate the service I've had from these two solicitors and Hewitt's as a whole with 10 stars I would, but as I can't one thing I can and will certainly be doing is using Hewitt's for all my future legal matter going forward.

We have used Amphlett Lissimore for a few years now after being with a firm of solicitors in central London. Both Akila and Judith with their wonderful business support Geraldine have served us well. They gave us time to explain our needs regarding our Wills and delivered promptly . We have had far better service from this local solicitors than ever we had with the firm in the City. Thank you so much and we will recommend you to everyone we know.
