Bio

I qualified as a solicitor in 2011 and joined a South Coast regional firm in 2013 when I moved to Dorset. In 2020, I moved to a well regarded regional firm and gained extensive experience in estate administration of all values and complexity. I am fully STEP qualified.

I work with bereaved individuals, charities, beneficiaries and trustees to administer all types of estates, including those that are (but not limited to) HNW, have farming/business or foreign assets and/or are charity interested. I also have experience assisting personal representatives where an estate administration is incomplete or needs rectification, where there are unusual grants, deeds of variation or exempt/non-exempt beneficiaries.

I like to get to know people and help them through a difficult time by assisting with the practical side of the probate process. Most problems have a solution, it’s just about knowing the most effective route to get to it.

I love cooking, reading (I set myself a target number of books to read each year), cycling and sailing. I am married and have two cats.
