Why choose me

Planning for the future or navigating bereavement is not something we deal with every day; I offer clients a supportive hand to help them understand the next steps they should take when they need it. Whether that is being a guide through the process of creating a will, preparing Lasting Powers of Attorney, or administrating an estate after the loss of a loved one.

I work with all types of clients and tailor my approach to match what is important to each individual or couple, reacting to their wishes in an efficient and proactive manner.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends and making the most of the independent restaurants Hereford has to offer.

Questions my clients ask me

With careful and well thought out planning, speaking to a qualified specialist early and getting advice that suits your circumstances.

Probate is a small part of the Estate Administration process. Obtaining a Grant of Probate can take around five months in itself at the moment but that is only the beginning of being able to access the estate funds. All in all, it is likely to be around a year before an estate can be distributed, although this does depend on the complexity of the estate.

Yes, they can, if your estate is complex then you may want to consider appointing professional executors but there is no rule against executors and beneficiaries being the same person.
