If you are searching for the best inheritance dispute lawyers, then look no further. The 2026 edition of the Legal 500 has ranked our team among the best contentious probate solicitors in the UK.
The Legal 500 ranking is based on extensive independent research to identify the very best lawyers and law firms in the UK. Law firms can only gain entry to the guide on merit. It is not possible for lawyers to buy their way in.
We have been included in the prestigious guide for several years in succession.
Our firm also has a five-star rating on the legal review platform, ReviewSolicitors*, with over 1,700 client reviews in total. Here are a few of our most recent reviews on that website:
Defending a claim made against the Estate
“After receiving a claim against my late father’s estate, I was left feeling extremely anxious and frustrated. Chris was amazing, his knowledge and professionalism was impeccable. I immediately felt in safe hands and I received a prompt response to any queries I had. Sharnie was also amazing throughout the experience. I was so impressed with the service that I used Slee Blackwell for an eviction and conveyancing. I received outstanding service again. Thank you so much for relieving my stress, that is truly priceless!”
Recovery of inheritance
“We are so grateful to Bronte for her help, support and understanding with our difficult situation in claiming the inheritance left to us by our late grandmother. She guided us through the process professionally and advised us on the best way forward at all times. A huge thankyou, we’re so grateful we got the resolution our grandmother would have wanted.”
Thank you
“A big thank you to Naomi Ireson and her team (Sharnie Jenkins) for helping me at a most difficult time in my life. After the death of my husband and having a caveat slapped on his estate, they helped me to get probate through. And were always ready to give help and advice when needed. I would recommend anyone to use Naomi and her team.”
Resolved what seemed to be an impossible situation! Thank you!
“I live in the United States when I learned that my mother had passed. The estate was in a really bad mess and things became very hostile and contentious with my only sibling. I consider myself very lucky that Slee Blackwell agreed to take my case. Considering that I reside across the pond communication was smooth and swift. It was a long road to travel but I could not have completed this chapter without the help from Anya and Slee Blackwell Solicitors LLP. I highly recommend this firm and Anya Hoyland should you ever need a lawyer to deal with a contentious inheritance.”
