Ten Old Square

Supported by ‘superb’ clerks, Ten Old Square’s barristers cover the gamut of trusts disputes. Simon Taube KC regularly advises trustees on complex trust structures, recently working in a case concerning the appointment of replacement trustees to a large Chelsea estate. Georgia Bedworth is acting on a probate claim challenging the will of her client’s late husband on the grounds of lack of capacity. In Seymour v Ragley Trust Corporation, Richard Dew appears in this case brought by the Earl of Yarmouth who seeks to remove the trustees of a number of discretionary trusts to which he is a beneficiary.

Position

Georgia Bedworth has a thriving and well-established traditional Chancery practice. She is instructed in both contentious and non-contentious trusts and estates matters which are technically complex, often involving multi-million-pound trusts and estates.

A well-respected junior, who is able to demystify complex concepts and explain them in plain English, Georgia frequently advises on the trusts of landed estates, capital tax planning issues and on Variation of Trusts Act applications. Alongside her non-contentious work, Georgia advises on a full range of contentious trusts and estate matters including probate claims and high-value claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975. In addition, Georgia undertakes a considerable amount of property and affairs work in the Court of Protection, in which she draws on her skills and knowledge attained in the other areas of her practice.

Georgia is recognised in Chambers UK and Chambers High Net Worth. She has been listed in Band 1 for Traditional Chancery, Trusts and Court of Protection (Property and Affairs) for a number of years and was shortlisted as Chancery Junior of the Year at the Chambers Bar Awards in 2023.
