Forbes Solicitors
We only have limited information for this firm. Consider the following firms which have provided more information:
Forbes Solicitors has marked the start of 2023 by implementing significant departmental restructuring, altering the previous contentious trusts and probate offering that was an offshoot of the dispute resolution team to a now exclusive body focusing on contested personal wealth matters. Directing this new group from Preston and Manchester respectively, Tom Howcroft and John Lambe boast a strong track record handling disputed complex wills and estates which often contain multi-jurisdictional elements. Howcroft’s practice is concentrated on Trusts of Land and Inheritance Act claims, while Lambe is singled out for his expertise in propriety estoppel and Court of Protection matters. The depth of the firm’s services was bolstered by the arrival of the ‘fantastic’ Rebecca Beaumont in March 2022, as well as Nicola Laurie who joined the team last December.
