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

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.

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.

Executor dispute and contentious Will mediation

5

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.

Naomi was ably assisted by Sharnie Jenkins in this matter.

Challenge to the validity of a will

5

Unfortunately I had to defend a challenge to the validity of my fathers will. Naomi Ireson, with the help of Sharnie Jenkins and the rest of the team were absolutely amazing. It was such a stressful time but Naomi had my back through it all, and persued the case relentlessly. Her expertise and competence in her field is exemplary and I never once believed that there would be a problem. The team kept me informed at all times and were always easy to talk to. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

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!
