Senior associate in the personal planning team
My Role
I am a private client solicitor providing advice on wills and estate planning, estate administration (including applications for grants of representation) and Court of Protection matters.
My experience
I have worked as a private client solicitor since 2014. I enjoy getting to know clients, hearing their stories and providing solutions to their needs. I understand that for many people, discussing issues pertaining to mortality and incapacity can be difficult. I am also conscious that I am often explaining new concepts and procedures to clients at a time of particular vulnerability (e.g. bereavement).
My specialisms
- Wills
- Lasting powers of attorney
- Estate administration (including applications for grants of representation)
