Slee Blackwell are specialist Devon inheritance solicitors
We are local Devon inheritance solicitors, with a national reputation.
Our Inheritance Disputes team, which attracts clients nationally and internationally, is based here in Devon. Solicitor, David Lees, leads a team in North Devon, while partner Naomi Ireson, heads up our Somerset team from our office in Taunton.
We are recognised for our expertise in this often complex area of law by the independent legal directory, the Legal 500.
The 2024 edition of the Legal 500 included these testimonials:
- “The strengths of the team is their ability to be thoroughly knowledgeable, stand for no nonsense, and do their absolute best for their client.”
- “Naomi Ireson stood out as efficient and helpful.“
- “My experience of the firm as a whole was very positive. Hayley Bundey particularly stood out.”
We deal with a broad range of inheritance disputes and contested Will cases. We have experience of challenging the validity of Wills on all available grounds, including:
- Lack of testamentary capacity;
- Undue influence; and
- Fraud and forgery.
We also deal with claims made under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975, by those who have not been adequately provided for following the death of a loved one. Inheritance Act claims can be made by various classes of claimant, including spouses, partners, and children.
In addition to these services, we also handle disputes between executors, trusts disputes, and claims based on broken promises, such as proprietary estoppel and TOLATA.
We offer a range of funding options, and we are frequently able to deal with cases under our popular No Win, No Fee scheme. This means that you do not need to allow worries about paying legal fees put you off seeking justice.
You can visit our specialist inheritance website for further information about the work that we do and the cases we have won.
