Career

Karen is a Senior Associate and a highly experienced member of our Lifetime Planning team, having qualified as a Fellow of CILEx in 1992.

She advises on Wills, Inheritance Tax, Estate Planning and Probate, Lasting Powers of Attorney and the creation and administration of trusts.

Karen has a particular specialism in the agricultural sector, including agricultural property matters.

She has been a member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) since 1996.

Client care has always been very important to Karen, and she prides herself on keeping clients updated and providing practical solutions for them in a down-to-earth way.  She continues to act for many clients she has known since the 1980s, and also acts for some of their children too.

Karen is part of the Norwich Lifetime Planning team who have a strong local reputation for providing an efficient, professional and friendly service.

Away from work, Karen enjoys walking in the countryside around the beautiful Waveney Valley, planning routes on maps and exploring rights of way – which also helps with her knowledge of the area for her agricultural clients! She has a strong interest in history and likes to visit East Anglia’s famed Round Tower churches.
