Biography
I am a solicitor in the Will, Trust and Estate Disputes team, based in our Gatwick office. I specialise in a range of different disputes involving contested wills, trusts and estate administration. These include but are not limited to:
- Will validity challenges
- Claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975
- Disputes between personal representatives, trustees and beneficiaries.
My ultimate goal in dealing with any dispute is to achieve a positive outcome for my clients in the most cost-effective way possible.
