Enduring Power of Attorney
Enduring Guardians
Probate matters can be incredibly confusing, complicated and overwhelming. There are a lot of elements to factor in, apply for, sign for, provide proof, review, look up and so on. Could hiring a female Probate Lawyer be the difference to efficiently administering all areas of probate?
That’s why, in a recent interview, I explained the benefits of using a female solicitor to apply for your probate.
It’s a pink job, I said!
This is in no way disrespecting my equally capable male counterparts, but it is certainly a field where I know that my clients (male and females) recognise the female touch that I bring to the table. A level of thoroughness, experience and empathy that gets the probate process running smoothly. Multi-tasking and juggling are my forte!
