Profile / Experience
I am a Legal Consultant in the Wills and Probate Department at Duncan Lewis Solicitors. I am based in the Harrow office and work alongside Wills and Probate Director Caroline Roche.
I have extensive experience in a wide range of issues including wills, probate, lasting powers of attorney and inheritance tax (IHT).
I have extensive experience assisting clients and achieving positive and successful outcomes. Recently, I dealt with a probate matter where I was able to save a client thousands of pounds in inheritance tax. In addition to this, I extensively deal with all wills and other non-contentious probate matters and often travel to clients in care homes and hospitals as well as to individuals' homes in order to take down their instructions.
Sensitivity is essential in this area of law and I pride myself in providing the best client care, ensuring they know that their matter is dealt with professionally and as a priority. Along with wills and probate matters, I have previous experience in immigration, nationality and EEA matters.
