# Benfield Legal
Benfield Legal is a specialist wills and probate law firm based in Hove, East Sussex, serving clients across the South East and nationally. The practice focuses exclusively on estate planning and administration, offering a highly personalised alternative to larger legal firms.
The firm caters to individuals seeking clear, straightforward legal advice on wills, probate matters, powers of attorney and property co-ownership arrangements. They serve both local Hove residents and clients further afield, including those in Bromley and Kent. Their approach particularly appeals to people who value direct access to their solicitor and prefer not to be processed through impersonal larger practices.
What distinguishes Benfield Legal is their deliberately limited caseload—a deliberate business choice ensuring every client receives genuine attention and care. Led by Deanne Ferguson, the firm is known for combining professional expertise with genuine compassion, particularly important when clients are navigating distressing situations like estate administration or updating wills during major life changes.
Client testimonials consistently praise the service's friendliness, efficiency and sensitivity in handling complex circumstances. The firm operates from a convenient Hangleton Valley location, eliminating the need for clients to travel into town, and offers no VAT on fees—a genuine saving. With £2 million professional indemnity insurance, clients have substantial peace of mind. The emphasis throughout is plain English advice, clear communication and outcomes that genuinely reflect each client's wishes and circumstances.
