Our Legal Services
At Lanyon Bowdler Solicitors our people are your team, and we pride ourselves on working closely with you, using our legal skills to help you achieve justice, fairness, and peace of mind. We cover a wide range of personal legal services, including:
When a person dies, all of their assets become a part of their estate, including any land, property, personal belongings, money, and investments. Estate administration is the process of identifying, collecting, and valuing all of the assets, settling any debts, paying any taxes, and distributing the remainder of the estate to the beneficiaries in line with the deceased’s will where applicable.
Nursing care should be funded by the NHS for all patients with a primary need, regardless of their financial situation. An assessment should be carried out by the NHS to determine eligibility to funding. If you or a relative did not undergo assessment, or if you wish to dispute the outcome, our team can help you to challenge it and seek justice.
When a disagreement arises due to inheritance or a will following the death of a loved one, our contentious probate specialists can help you to come to a solution. We are experienced in handling all types of inheritance disputes, and can help you to challenge the validity of a will, and recover assets promised to you by the deceased.
The Court of Protection is able to make decisions, and appoint others to make decisions, on behalf of individuals who lack the mental capacity to make certain decisions, in cases where a power of attorney has not been previously appointed. The type of decisions covered include those relating to health, personal welfare, financial affairs, and property.
Our specialist dispute resolution team can help you to resolve a number of different disputes such as land and boundary disputes, property repossession, disputes with landlords, debt recovery, claims against tradespeople and professionals, insurance claims issues, and problems regarding high value goods like vehicles, furniture, and electrical goods.
Our team of employment law specialists are able to provide outstanding legal assistance with a variety of workplace issues, including unfair dismissal, harassment, discrimination, redundancy, internal grievances, breach of contract, maternity/paternity rights, equal pay, and employment tribunal claims, amongst others.
Our family law specialists have the knowledge and expertise to handle a variety of family law issues, including separation and divorce, child access and protection, civil partnerships, domestic violence, international family law, financial matters, and fertility, surrogacy, and adoption.
Medical conditions resulting from prolonged exposure to an occupational hazard can affect individuals physically, mentally, and financially. We can help you to seek legal action for a variety of industrial diseases, including exposure to asbestos, mesothelioma, respiratory conditions, skin diseases, vibration white finger, and cancer.
All medical professionals owe a duty of care to their patients, and if they breach that duty of care it can cause undue harm. For example a cancer misdiagnosis can lead to the condition worsening and needing more intensive treatment, or the negligent treatment of a pregnant woman can cause harm to either mother or baby.
There are a variety of reasons why people get into debt, such as taking on too much credit, being made redundant, divorce and separation, or the death of a spouse. If you are struggling we would advise you to seek legal help sooner rather than later, and our specialist legal team will help you to find the best course of action to get your finances under control.
If you have been injured in an accident that wasn’t your fault, you could have valid grounds on which to make a personal injury claim. The negligent actions of somebody else may have led you to be injured in a road traffic accident, workplace accident, or an accident in a public place. Our specialist personal injury team can help you to put together a strong case to achieve a financial pay out in line with the severity of your injuries.
Buying and selling a residential property can be a complex process, but our expert property team is here to help. We can assist with all aspects of residential property law including the exchange of contracts, consulting the Land Registry, the transfer of equity, shared equity homes, purchase of property at auction, purchase of a repossessed property, buy to let, re-mortgaging, and probate sales and purchases.
We are specialists in handling compensation claims for serious and catastrophic injuries caused by somebody else’s negligence or carelessness. Serious injuries can include those such as brain and head injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, paralysis, severe burns and scalding, multiple and complex injuries, and fatalities.
A will is the best way of ensuring that your loved ones are provided for in the event of your death, yet it is something that many people put off until it is too late. Our wills and probate team can help you to put together a will, detailing exactly how you would like your estate to be dealt with upon your death. We can also facilitate the probate process, which is the execution of the will according to the wishes of the deceased.
