Rachel Hirst

Solicitor


Why choose me

Supporting people at a time where they often feel vulnerable and need guidance to deal with a difficult matter is why I practice as a Private Client lawyer. My priority is providing the best solution for client needs so that they feel reassured about the future.

I am approachable and empathic, listening carefully to clients’ concerns so that they get the most appropriate advice and guidance. From young people making their first will to divorcees with complex family circumstance and elderly clients dealing with bereavement. I specialise in advising on matters including lasting powers of attorney, wills and estate planning, applications for the Grant of Probate and the administration of estates.

Outside work, I enjoy yoga, cycling and spending time with my family and our dog.

Questions my clients ask me

It depends on the value of assets you hold; we can guide you with the right advice.

Yes, I generally recommend having an LPA in place to protect you if you became incapable of managing your affairs yourself. It’s better to have them there and not need them, rather than need them when they aren’t there.

For a non-taxable estate, the Probate Registry state up to eight weeks. If the estate is taxable, it’s a further 20 days for HMRC to review the IHT account.
