Warning: Documents misusing the names of Nana Asare, Charlotte Woolven-Brown and Healys LLP

16 October 2025

Documents have been sent to a member of the public misusing the names of Nana Asare, Charlotte Woolven-Brown and Healys LLP in relation to a supposed inheritance matter.

What is the scam?

The SRA has seen an email and a letter that have been sent to a member of the public misusing the names of two genuine solicitors (see below), and the name, address and logo of a genuine firm of solicitors (see below).

The email was sent from 'manaasare9@gmail.com'. The email refers to an attached letter.

The attached letter contains 'Healys LLP' and 'Ministry of Justice' logos. It says that there is a court hearing in relation to a supposed inheritance for 'the amount of $65,000.000.00 Million USD and property ownership'.

Any business or transaction through the email address 'manaasare9@gmail.com' is not undertaken by a firm or individual authorised and regulated by the SRA.

Is there a genuine firm or person?

The SRA authorises and regulates a genuine firm of solicitors called Healys LLP. The head office address for the genuine firm is Atrium Court, 15-17 Jockey’s Fields, London, WC1R 4BW.

The SRA authorises a genuine solicitor called Charlotte Jane Woolven-Brown who is a partner at the genuine firm.

The SRA also authorises a genuine solicitor called Nana Asare who is a solicitor at Duncan Lewis Solicitors Ltd (also a genuine firm which the SRA authorises and regulates).

The genuine firm and the genuine solicitors have confirmed that they do not have any connection to the documents referred to above.

What should I do?

When a firm's or individual's identity has been copied exactly (or cloned), due diligence is necessary. If you receive correspondence claiming to be from the above firm(s) or individual(s), or information of a similar nature to that described, you should conduct your own due diligence by checking the authenticity of the correspondence by contacting the law firm directly by reliable and established means. You can contact the SRA to find out if individuals or firms are regulated and authorised by the SRA and verify an individual's or firm's practising details. Other verification methods, such as checking public records (e.g. telephone directories and company records) may be required in other circumstances.
