About Inheritance Disputes
www.inheritancedisputes.co.uk is a specialist website created by Lee Dawkins, a partner in Slee Blackwell Solicitors LLP. This pioneering site was first established by him in 2007, since when we have successfully helped to resolve countless inheritance disputes, recovering millions of pounds for our clients along the way.
We deal with cases nationally, and our client base spans the whole of England and Wales, as well as overseas.
We specialise in inheritance disputes, contested wills and contentious probate claims of all types, offering clients a full range of funding options, including deferred fees, and no win, no fee.
We have a large team of lawyers who deal exclusively with inheritance disputes. Led by Naomi Ireson and Lee Dawkins, our solicitors are genuine specialists in this complex area of law. While many firms might say they deal with inheritance disputes, very few are true specialists in the way we are. Our lawyers focus solely on disputes involving inheritance, wills, and probate. Accordingly, they have acquired a level of experience and expertise that places them above the ‘generalist practitioner’ found in most firms.
Among the services we offer are:
- Inheritance Act claims;
- Disputed wills;
- Executor disputes;
- Invalid wills;
- Proprietary estoppel claims; and
- Attorney disputes.
We are proud of our track record of success and you can read about some of the cases our inheritance dispute solicitors have dealt with over the years on our Case Studies page.
Slee Blackwell Solicitors LLP is regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. We have been awarded Lexcel accreditation by the Law Society for excellence in client care.
We have been shortlisted for the DASLS Team of the Year Award 2026 and are recommended by the 2026 edition of The Legal 500. These are a few things the publication has had to say about us:

- ‘Hayley is, simply, an undoubted professional, showing compassion during what is a very upsetting time.’
- ‘Naomi Ireson was quite simply perfect!’
