Department

Rebecca joined Forbes' CTP team in March 2022 as a Senior Associate, and is based in Manchester. Rebecca has over fifteen years' legal experience, having qualified in January 2007.Rebecca spent six years at LCF Law in Bradford as an Assistant Solicitor in the Dispute Resolution team, handling a wide range of commercial disputes, acting for commercial and private clients, as well as advising on Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975 claims and capacity disputes.

Rebecca joined Schofield Sweeney Solicitors in Bradford in 2014 as an Assistant Solicitor. She was promoted to Associate in 2016, and Director in 2019. During her time with the firm Rebecca developed a passion for contentious probate work and became the go to person within the firm for this work. Her expertise in this area was recognised by her being regularly asked to deliver training to the firm's private client team on contentious matters. Rebecca supplemented her developing expertise by completing the ACTAPS qualification in 2019.Rebecca has dealt with a wide range of contentious probate cases including advising on claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975; removal of personal representatives; validity disputes (including undue influence and forgery claims); proprietary estoppel and constructive trust claims; claims against professional advisers; and advising trustees on breach of trust claims.

The recruitment of another senior fee earner indicates that the team continues to grow. Rebecca's experience will both strengthen the team and help to grow this practice area.

From start to finish Forbes have been amazing. I have never dealt with a probate before and I was very nervous and extremely emotional when this process started and first talked to Rebecca about it all. She has been outstanding and so supportive throughout it all and I can't thank her enough for just being there whenever I needed her. Thank you so much Rebecca.

Losing my Dad has been incredibly difficult and Rebecca’s expertise and support was really invaluable and helped me massively. She made the awful experience easier to deal with as she supported me with her skills and team of colleagues. Nothing was too much and she sought an answer to every issue that arose while dealing with my father’s estate. Rebecca helped me be able to do right by my Dad’s memory. I will be forever grateful and highly recommend her and Forbes Solicitors.

Rebecca worked with my family and I for around a year during a very difficult period of our lives. As my solicitor she has done everything she could regarding the matter at hand and I feel I was treated extremely fairly. More fairly than I had imagined given the circumstances.

I had spoken to a couple of firms but what I wanted was a solicitor that was going to fight my corner, whilst obviously this is what solicitors are employed to do I felt that Rebecca really understood me on a personal level and genuinely wanted the best for me and my family.

I am forever thankful for the work Rebecca and her colleagues at Forbes have done for my family.

Rebecca has helped, supported and guided me on two separate matters that were ongoing in my life. Her expertise and knowledge was exceptional. Rebecca was someone I also leaned on for emotional strength. Her empathy in helping me and my family is something I will always remember and I will be eternally grateful for. Thank you so much Rebecca.

Forbes have been amazing throughout. I have never dealt with a probate before and I was very nervous and extremely emotional when this process started and first talked to Rebecca B about it all. She has been outstanding, supportive and I can't thank her enough for being there when needed. Thank you so much Rebecca B. I will go into the new year feeling a lot better than I have for the past couple of years, it has been a journey and you have all made it so much more bearable.
