Practice Areas

I am the Regional Managing Partner in Chichester, and I work with clients to resolve disputes about Wills, Estates or Trusts. I advise individual beneficiaries and professional trustees or executors and can offer innovative solutions enabling both private individuals or trustees with a cash poor trust to fund expert legal advice. I have expertise in dealing with:

- Disputes between Trustees and Beneficiaries or between Executors and the Beneficiaries

- Disputes over trust assets and estate assets

- Issues over the distribution of a trust asset or estate assets

- Guidance for Trustees or Executors

- Property ownership Trust disputes

- Claims against estates or Trusts

- Disputes over the validity of Wills

I am also an expert in disputes involving the affairs of the elderly and vulnerable such as financial abuse cases. Where previous advisors, financial or legal, have made mistakes I can assist in the rectification of the situation and any claim for compensation.
