Declarations of trust
I am experienced in dealing with complex estate administration issues such as double probates, intestacy issues, dealing with foreign estates/assets, dealing with claims for agricultural property relief/business property relief, complex family arrangements and making unusual probate applications.

I pride myself on being approachable, and providing my clients with clear, understandable advice and solutions to ensure that their legal objectives are achieved.
