What I do

I am a Chartered Legal Executive specialising in Wills, Probate applications, the administration of Estates, Lasting Powers of Attorney and Enduring Powers of Attorney. 

I have experience of preparing Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney.

My work mainly consists of non-taxable estates, although I do have some experience of dealing with larger taxable estates.

I am a member of the Association of Lifetime Lawyers who specialise in the support and legal services for older and vulnerable clients. I am a good listener and very patient when clients are considering important decisions about their future.

I qualified as a fellow of the Institute of Legal Executives in 2003. I became a member of the Association of Lifetime Lawyers and have also undertaken Dementia Friends training in March 2017. In 2019 I was admitted as a CILEx Probate Practitioner. In 2024 I became an Associate at Smith Partnership.

I am friendly and approachable with a supportive attitude.

I enjoy spending time with my family, husband and two children.    I enjoy socialising with friends, walking and Pergamano.

It has been a long, drawn-out process, but I do thank you for the work you have done and your courtesy throughout. 

Client, Wills and Probate

Thanks to you as you were so kind and considerate when I was getting into such a state.

Client, Smith Partnership

Thanks so much for all your help with everything for my Aunty and Thank you kindly for the reminder about identity requirements on collection of Aunty's personal Documents. Genuinely appreciate that i would only have had my drivers licence card on me under normal circumstances as i carry that everywhere. Thankfully one of your collegues reminded me it was out of date and saved me getting into serious trouble for driving about without my licence photo card being renewed and up to date with photograph. Kindest Regards and Many Thanks indeed for your help and support during a very difficult time.
