Our barristers are equipped to provide comprehensive advice on the merits of an Inheritance Act claim under The Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975. Whether you are considering making a claim or defending against one, our barristers can advise, assist, and represent you throughout the process. Additionally, if you find yourself in a situation where someone else makes a claim under the Act, and you are a beneficiary of the estate, our barristers can offer written advice to guide you.

We operate on fixed fees basis, ensuring transparency and clarity in our billing process. Below are estimated ranges of fixed fees for our services:

The fees are calculated based on an hourly rate ranging from £200 + VAT to £450 + VAT per hour, with an estimated time commitment of approximately 10 – 15 hours.
Please note that the actual fees may vary depending on factors such as the experience level of the barrister and the complexity of the case.

The timescales for your written advice may vary based on factors such as barrister availability, the complexity of the deceased person’s estate, and your financial needs. However, it’s important to note that claims under the Inheritance Act must be made within six months of the grant of probate. As a guideline, your written advice should be available within approximately two to four weeks, where feasible.
