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.
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.

The process of selling our Mum's bungalow was long and quite tedious at times with a difficult buyer. Our solicitor kept on top of everything and communicated with us every step of the way. We are so glad that we picked David Barney and would highly recommend them.

Tagged solicitor Rachael Stokes
Rachael was able to present her obviously thorough understanding of the law using straightforward and clear language. She drew up my will and LPAs and whenever we communicated (whether in person, by phone or email) I received a warm welcome. I also had the sense that my thoughts and feelings were being valued, felt confident in Rachael’s professionalism and at all times understood what was happening. Excellent!

Tagged solicitor Elleanor Train
Elleanor was very professional in her approach to the entire process and shared her legal knowledge in an understandable form. I felt comfortable about asking her any questions or contacting her at any time to discuss different points. She was able to present both sides of a situation to enable me to make informed choices. This was especially the case regarding the Will making.
