Parklane Plowden‘s Chancery, probate and tax team has ‘good strength in depth, with specialist barristers at all levels‘, and is noted for its ‘particular and growing strength in the area of probate and trust work‘. The ‘formidable‘ Sarah Harrison is regularly instructed in Inheritance Act claims, and recently acted in a case involving contested deputyship proceedings between a solicitor and a trust corporation, which was a subsidiary of the charity listed as the residuary beneficiary in the will. Nicola Phillipson is ‘well-respected by the judiciary and a tenacious and persuasive advocate‘. In a recent highlight, Phillipson successfully defended a client in a case where the validity of a will was challenged on the grounds of lack of testamentary capacity and undue influence on the side of the client, who was a beneficiary of the will.
