Parklane Plowden


A set with an excellent reputation for housing ‘a very strong probate team‘, Parklane Plowden has an established track record in advising on contentious wills, trusts and probate matters. Anna Metcalfe acted in a case concerning obtaining permission to pursue an Inheritance Act claim regarding an estate worth £500,000; the key issue was that the claim was being brought nearly four years out of time. Sarah Harrison is sought after for her expertise in advising on cases involving contested validity and rectification of wills and trusts. Nicola Phillipson appeared in Ramus v Holt, a claim brought under the 1975 Act for reasonable financial provision from an estate held within a discretionary trust.
