Inheritance act

5

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!

Firstly I would like to say, if it were possible I would give Slee and Blackwell Solicitors a five star plus rating..

My probate case was slightly complicated, as it was originally being dealt with by Chatterton's solicitors in Lincolnshire. It was to do with my late father's estate, I needed to establish proof of my relationship with my late father to inherit the estate. My uncle who at the time of my late father's death lived in Africa, put the estate in the hands of Chatterton's Solicitors in Lincolnshire denying I existed, my uncle then passed away before probate was completed. As my father had not had anything to do with me at all, the only reason I found out he had passed away was through another family member.
I contacted Chatterton's explaining the situation, and to cut a very long story short they were completely unhelpful and dismissive, even though I had conclusive proof from the court of him being my late father. If I were able to give Chatterton's a review it would be 0 star plus but I would like to thank them for the 2 years of my time they wasted while they passed me on from solicitor to solicitor with the same negative outcome saying they needed more and more proof as far as I can see the only thing they did for me was hold funds in their account and charge sixteen thousand pounds plus for the privilege.

Not knowing where else to go I contacted Slee and Blackwell and Spoke to Holly, explained my situation and asked if she would be able to proceed on a no win no fee basis it must of taken around 10 minutes for her to get back with a positive answer and all the way through she has been absolutely fantastic.
So all that remains for me to say is a very Heart felt thank you and a happy Christmas to you Holly and all at Slee and Blackwell...
Thank you.

Managed my late brother's estate and dealt with a "difficult" widow and her family, allowing us the executors to grieve in peace.

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.

Quick communication, measured advice and I felt confident in adhering to Naomis suggestions. Naomi was confident of a successful outcome from the outset and this was reassuring and ultimately she was successful in my case. I would recommend Naomi personally and due to my positive experience I will also be using Slee and Blackwell for other services.

I had an enquiry about a will and probate, not to pursue but more so after some advice before I took any further. I Liased with Naomi and she was very helpful and went beyond what I expected to help me from just an enquiry. I shall use them if I need to take any further legal action. Thanks for your help!
