Nicola Coughlin
Senior Paralegal
I am a Paralegal based at the Beverley office and specialise in dealing with Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney. I have over 20 years legal experience and have dealt with thousands of happy clients.
I passionately believe that every adult should have an up-to-date Will and a Lasting Power of attorney.
A Will deals with the assets you have and where you would like them to pass on your death.
Lasting Powers of Attorney allow you to appoint people that you trust to assist you during your lifetime and it is my role to talk you through this process.
Many clients worry about visiting a solicitor’s office to discuss their Will or Lasting Power of Attorney requirements. This can be due many different reasons, perhaps because of their age, frailty or complex family circumstances or just because of an apprehension to discuss such sensitive matters with a stranger. However, my main aim is to put my clients at ease from the outset, listen to what they would like to achieve and then prepare a Will and/or Lasting Power of Attorney that is tailored to their needs.
I pride myself on explaining the process of making a Will and/or Lasting Power of Attorney in a language that is easily understandable without relying on legal terminology.

Will and power of attorney
I had dealt with Lockings before and was more than happy to do so again. I found everyone I came into contact with to be friendly and very efficient, leaving me to feel confident that my affairs were in very safe hands. Everything I needed to know was explained in simple to understand terms.

Will review
We have recently had cause the carry out a review of our wills. Nicola was such a great help. During the initial meeting we were able to discuss our needs which Nicola noted and advised us how it should be written. The new draft wills were posted to our home which we were able to read before the second meeting. Nicola went through it line by line to ensure we had a full understanding of the content to ensure it fulfilled our wishes.
