ACTAPS inheritance dispute lawyer

Naomi Ireson has become an ACTAPS inheritance dispute lawyer.

Naomi Ireson, who heads up the inheritance disputes team, has become a member of the Association of Contentious Trust and Probate Specialists, an organisation commonly known simply as ACTAPS.

Naomi is a very experienced inheritance dispute practitioner, and she is recommended in this specialist field of law by the Legal 500, the leading independent guide to the best law firms.

ACTAPS was created nearly 50 years ago to promote the work of lawyers specialising contentious trusts and probate law. It is therefore a great honour for Naomi to have joined the organisation’s ranks.

Naomi’s recommendation by the Legal 500 and membership of ACTAPS reflects her enviable track record of success in dealing with inheritance disputes. She has represented clients in a number of high-profile cases, including:

• Ely v Robson [2016]
• Rate v Grovit [2021]
• Williams v Praine [2021]
• Pugh v Pugh [2023]
• McLeod v McLeod and others [2024]

Naomi has a 5/5 rating on Review Solicitor, the independent legal review website, where her reviews include the following:

Inheritance Act

“Over the last year I have been working with Naomi and her team (Sharnie Jenkins and Jolie Lambert), to make a claim under the Inheritance Act against my late father’s will. Throughout this time, they have been extremely professional, helpful and communication is excellent. I am more than grateful for all they have done to help me and would not only recommend them, but wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. I have felt 100% confident that they would lead me to the best outcome and trusted them implicitly. Thank you so much!”

Stepchildren of the deceased

“Naomi was the only solicitor I had spoken to that took on my case and I am very grateful for her to represent me. My stepsister and brother were not communicating with me, so I had no option but to gain some legal advice. the law however isn’t I feel lawful in such situations, but I did this for pure principle not money. I eventually after a year of fighting managed to gain some personal items of my fathers and enough to cover legal expenses and a little left over. I really would have always been wondering if I hadn’t tried what if, so I did really try my best. Naomi was very approachable and professional, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in my situation. Thank you again.”

Executor dispute and contentious Will mediation

“I was in a difficult position with a co-executor that left the estate idle and Slee Blackwell were excellent in navigating a resolution to achieve the appointment of an independent PR. In addition my father’s Will was being challenged by one of the beneficiaries against the largest recipient of the estate and Naomi Ireson was very solid in her advice and helped to arrange a successful mediation.”

She leads a large team of lawyers, all of whom deal exclusively with inheritance disputes and other aspects of contentious trusts and probate law, such as proprietary estoppel and TOLATA claims. As such, they are genuine specialists in this highly complex area of law.

Naomi and her team offer a free consultation service along with a range of funding options, including our highly popular No Win, No Fee, and deferred fee (pay at the end) schemes.
