Amanda Latimer - Burnetts Solicitors

Amanda is a Solicitor in our Dispute Resolution team in Carlisle and specialises in contentious probate and claims under the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996 (TOLATA).

Amanda advises on a wide range of contentious probate matters ranging from will disputes, claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975, claims against executors, partnership disputes and trust claims.

She has a particular expertise in advising unmarried couples and cohabitees on claims under TOLATA and working on high value claims in the High Court.

Amanda’s focus is on combining her expertise with her communications skills and building strong relationship with her clients whilst providing pragmatic advice.

Her recent instructions include advising on:

A will challenge on the basis of undue influence and lack of testamentary capacity;
Advising on a contentious agricultural partnership dissolution following the death of a partner;
Issuing court proceedings to remove an executor;
Defending claims made under the Inheritance Act by adult children;
Defending a promissory estoppel claim against a large lake district farm; and
Advising unmarried couples and cohabitees on several claims under TOLATA.

Prior to being admitted as a Solicitor, Amanda was a business owner herself and as a result is well placed to advise on contentious probate matters with a business element.
