Red Kite Law LLP

Wills and Probate, Tax and Trusts

Leanne is a Partner of the firm, working in Wills and Probate. Leanne has over a decade’s experience dealing with Private Client work.

Leanne possesses a wealth of experience in drafting and revising Wills, advising and assisting clients with preparing and registering Lasting Powers of Attorney, and dealing with Estate administration after a persons’ death.

She is also vastly experienced in advising clients on lifetime planning to include the movement of ownership of assets to the next generation, and Inheritance Tax planning on potential tax paying estates, including the availability of Inheritance Tax nil rate band, reliefs and exemptions. She also deals with Probate matters ranging from small estates to larger, high value, complex estates which have a net value in excess of a million pounds.

Leanne's work has often involved responding to emergency calls to attend seriously ill clients in hospital who want to prepare urgent wills, and attending clients after they have lost a loved one to talk them through the probate process. Through this aspect of her work, Leanne understands the importance of supporting and comforting her clients and their families during difficult times and this underlies her passion for her profession.

Leanne began working for Lowless & Lowless, a predecessor firm of Redkite Solicitors, in 2005 and in 2008 was awarded a training contract with the firm. She qualified as a Solicitor in December 2009 and has since been made a Partner of Redkite Solicitors.

During her spare time, Leanne enjoys exercising, relaxing and socialising with family and friends. She has a keen interest in travel and has visited several countries within Europe, America and the Indian Ocean. Leanne also very much enjoys taking part in charitable events and supporting local charities.
