Julia Beer

Barrister at Selborne Chambers

Speaker

Julia (TEP) has a traditional Chancery practice specialising in contentious probate, with particular expertise in domicile and cross border estates, fraudulent wills, 1975 Act claims and farming estates. “Julia is a formidable advocate with an excellent grasp of the law and ability to apply it to the facts of a case.” “Clients absolutely love her” and has been consistently ranked in Chambers and Partners High Net Worth rankings and is also ranked in the Legal 500 as a Leading Junior for Private Wealth & Probate.

Julia is frequently instructed to advise in contentious farming estates and has developed a niche understanding of agricultural issues and family business structures. Her advice often extends to bringing and defending ancillary proprietary estoppel and constructive trust claims against Estate assets; advising on realising the Estate’s shareholding in both property and farming limited companies; and advising on the post death winding up of farming partnerships. When advising Julia is also able to draw upon her underlying Company Law expertise (she is editor of the Unfair Prejudice Chapter in Gore Browne on Companies) and Court of Protection knowledge (as an editor of the Court of Protection Law Reports 2013-2022). She regularly advises on the removal of Personal Representatives and LPAs.
