JAMES BERESFORD CHARLOTTE PRITCHARD BLM, PROBATE AND STEP GOT IN COMMON?

What has James Beresford and Charlotte Pritchard of BLM and STEP all got in common other than serving some of their times at SLATERS and GORDON?

This scammers website blog has for years now run many stories on just how corrupt the law can be in respect of probate law in the UK.

First up was the now discredited PB of Bartlett’s of Liverpool and Chester his little corker was to run up legal bills of £80,000 and creating a care bill for the estates deceased owner of £100,000 when in actual fact it was less than 10% of that figure but removed himself as executer but still managed to convince a court he was due his fees!

He did much more than that, that any lay court worth their salt would rule as actions of legal fraud?

Then in December 2019 a probate court in Liverpool ordered the North West law society to instruct an independent probate expert do the estate the leader of the North west law contacted one of the UK’S TOP legal 500 members one James Beresford who within 1 year ended up being a client of his own firm
for attempting legal fraud?

We ask how was it possible that a top probate and wealth manager get it so wrong in such a quick time can only lead lay people to the sensible conclusion
it was all about protecting the first executer of the will PB of Bartlett’s of Chester (it now turns out he’s trying the same trick with the estates next door property)
Poor James was trapped in this saga before he knew he was doomed, the court in Dec 2019 set forth a contract in stone the property was to be sold for no less than 750k even though Zoopla valued it at £1.3m at the time.

Bartlett’s of Chester valued it at only £450,000 in 2015 and when Beresford took on the case repeated the same valuation as a cover-up in legal fraud.

James repeated the same lie of PB in confirming the £100,000 unpaid care bills from the previous dodgy law firm, repeated a claim in court documents the £4,500 funeral bill had not been paid in 2015 when we have seen sight of bank statements and the actual receipt shows this top legal 500 super doper lawyer is in fact incompetent and no one seems to care certainly not the SRA (NOT FOR THE FIRST TIME) although the legal ombudsman seems to be taking a close look now!

James thought it was a great idea to steal £49000 from Dr Jones Nationwide bank account by simply requesting it even though he had no legal authority or even letters of administration we kid you not and when BLM thought they were losing control got poor James to enter a personal caveat into the Leeds probate office that stopped the sale of 1m pounds but made Beresford the clown he has now become little wonder SDL cant get an answer from him?

Poor James by early 2020 had had enough and started making noises he wanted out but BLM and others had other ideas, he was going to be their stooge for the cover-up, it begs the question what dirt his puppet masters has on him?

Then the we get a huge document leak and even more SAR responses that opens this case wide open.

After many attempts to stop whistle-blowers and the main beneficiary from court actions by telling lies to judges in the rolls building London we now discover the greatest probate man in the land had enough not only did he refuse 2 x £1m property bids from potential buyers after having direct talks with the previous removed executer oh yes he did its was in a SAR response by the great BLM to the point of telling us they are no longer going to do any more SAR requests!

We have now found out CHAROLLTE PRITCHARD is now running the probate show without proper capacity, not our thoughts but SDL’s and she’s not the only one they are worried about they are also
besides themselves about the involvement of one Mr Peter Robinson of Manchester, lets us remind you all Beresford is a court appointed executer none of the others are yet who is paying all their
fees?

Who-ever Robinson is he has no business directing anything in direction to SDL, Two other named no-ones are also in the despatches we are trying to identify them first!

Now it turns out SDL got cold feet and asked James Beresford for a response and surprise surprise they could not reach the official executer that’s right nada as it turns out Charlotte was on hand to save the day, not really as a high ranking official at STEP she wrote a reply to SDL where she secretly told them things were not going well in court but not to worry as she/BLM was going to take full advantage of the court delay and told SDL to basically carry on a damage the estates value to the tune of at least £300,000.

The role of any executer is to maximise the value of the estate both charlotte and James are supposed to be huge BLM Wealth managers who in their right minds would trust these guys with their portfolios???

Now up to this point no-one even knew of Pritchard or Robinson it was all done in massive secrecy Beresford even lied about this to Master Peston in a London court that has been transcribed.

They are all up to their necks in alleged legal fraud and no-one seems to care until now!

Will the BLM take action – not a chance for over a year BLM compliance cant even do their jobs right by demanding gagging orders without signatures for any letters or threats to their clients in this case that’s illegal by the way.

For 2 solicitors in the top 500 of legal eagles in the UK, have they no shame???

It now turns out when Beresford took vacant possession he never even insured the property what a numpty! Then he never reported to the police when it get broken into and ransacked if this is what it takes to get into the top 500 lawyers i am in the wrong job!!!

All the above is contained within SUBJECT ACCESS REQUESTS and LEAKED documents, we have reached out to them all for comments none so far received so can anyone trust these so-called professionals ever again?

What is a ‘TEP’?

‘TEP’ stands for ‘Trust and Estate Practitioner’, and is the designation given to full members of STEP. To become a TEP, practitioners must have a combination of specialist qualifications and experience, including significant involvement at a specialist level with inheritance and succession planning.

Why use a TEP?

Choosing a professional to help you to deal with such important and often sensitive issues can be difficult. Many aspects of planning are non-regulated, meaning anyone can write a will, for example, regardless of training or expertise. With a TEP, you’re in safe hands.

Expertise: TEPs are recognised experts in their field, with proven qualifications and experience. By joining STEP and maintaining their membership they have also shown significant commitment to their continued professional development in this specialist area.
Integrity: TEPs are subject to an extensive Code of Professional Conduct (PDF 24KB), requiring them at all times to act with integrity and in a manner that inspires the confidence, respect and trust of their clients and of the wider community. In England & Wales, STEP members who draft wills are also bound by STEP’s Will Code. These professional standards provide you with a clear understanding of what to expect from a TEP, and importantly if you feel one of our members is not acting in accordance with these standards, you can make a complaint under our Disciplinary Process.
Knowledge: TEPs are required to maintain and develop the knowledge and skills relevant to their role as a condition of their continued membership. This means TEPs will always be up to date with the latest legal, technical and regulatory developments that may affect you and your situation.
Connections: TEPs have access to a global network of 20,000 advisors and professionals, enabling them to share knowledge and expertise across professional and geographic boundaries and to offer a joined-up service that can really add value to you as a client.
