Katie Elsdon

Solicitor

Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

I am a Solicitor in the Wills, Trusts and Probate Team. My workload includes drafting wills, lasting powers of attorney, probate applications, trust documents, and managing deputyship matters on a day-to-day basis. I also assist with estate and trust administration, including associated tax implications. My aspiration to pursue a career in law stems from my desire to help people during challenging times. I have always been intrigued by the legal profession. My passion for private client work was solidified during my studies to dual qualify as a Chartered Legal Executive and Solicitor. I use the skills and knowledge I have gained throughout my experience to assist clients and achieve successful outcomes. My ability to build relationships with people from diverse backgrounds equips me to support clients during some of the most difficult times in their lives. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family - especially my dog! I am also proud to be a Dementia Friend.

Zero hassle wills

We'd procrastinated on making our wills for years and years - perhaps thinking it would be a complex process. In reality it wasn't just a smooth, zero fuss process you'd hope for from a competent professional solicitor, it was actually pleasant too. Katie was recommended by a friend, and I've just recommended her to my complete circle of friends too. Zero hassle wills - it's what we're all looking for!
