Law firms ranked by client reviews

Disputes about wills, breaches of trust, or claims on an estate, including challenging or defending probate under the Inheritance Act 1975. A solicitor handles caveats, applications for probate or containers of administration, and court actions to resolve who benefits from an estate or to enforce or defend trust provisions. It includes advising on settlements, negotiating with executors, trustees, and potential beneficiaries, and guiding enforcement of court orders in County Courts or the High Court where needed.

Where a solicitor protects your position

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.

Helen GowinKathryn Clare

Tagged solicitors Helen Gowin and Kathryn Clare

From the moment I contacted SAS Daniels, I felt fully supported. My mother's will was relatively simple - share everything equally between the children. Unfortunately that involved sorting out how to ensure one of the children could remain in my mother's property (where he had been living for 15 years and, in later years, acting as her carer) when one of the other children obviously wanted to sell it and divide the proceeds, not worrying about making one person homeless in the process. It was finally agreed to buy out that person's share leaving the property in the hands of the remaining children. As the executor and beneficiary of the will, I wanted everything to be formally documented in a Settlement Agreement. Despite initial resistance, through a process of negotiation and support from SAS Daniels, the document was finally drafted, agreed and signed by all parties. It took nearly 12 months, but throughout everything I fully appreciated the professionalism, efficiency and consideration of everyone involved. I would definitely recommend SAS Daniels for any future legal matters.

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.
