If not and if you are a relative or a dependant of the Deceased you may be entitled to make a claim. Although in England and Wales a person can leave his Estate to whomever he chooses this is subject to the right to claim reasonable financial provision under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975.
To make plans to protect the interests of yourself and your family both during your lifetime and after your death, you should make a Lasting Power of Attorney. This will give your relative or friend power to manage your affairs or make decisions during your lifetime if you become unable to look after them yourself through mental or physical incapacity.

I've been dealing with the Mitchells Solicitors over the last 20 months in regards to Inheritance dispute, and then a house sale. Both Philip Chapman and Celia Earley were absolutely brilliant throughout, providing me with a constant support, and gaining a great result in the end. I'm really happy I've used their services. True professionals. Alex K.

I recently used Mitchells for a house sale and could not be more satisfied. Celia Early was my appointed Solicitor who was always contactable by phone and responded almost immediately to emails. I asked Celia for complete & exchange within an ambitious 6 weeks and she achieved this.
I will be using Mitchells & Celia in the future and can highly recommend them.
