Fiona Ashworth

Solicitor - Director

SRA ID: 40164

Fiona Ashworth, who qualified as a solicitor in 1999, is supervised by Robert Ashworth. She joined the TSP Wills and Estates team in August 2014 as the Team Leader, and is based in our Colchester Office. Fiona has extensive experience in her area and advises our clients on Succession Planning and their Wills; the preparation and use of Powers of Attorney (whether general powers of attorney for business structures, Lasting Powers of Attorney for Property and Financial affairs or Health and Welfare needs, and registration of the old-style Enduring Powers of Attorney); the Administration of Estates, Inheritance tax and Trust matters and Court of Protection cases. Fiona has developed a particular specialism working with meeting the needs of elderly clients and her farming background (she was born into a farming family and is married to a farmer) has helped her develop a strong agricultural client base. Since January 2016, Fiona M. Ashworth Ltd, a company of which Fiona is a Director, has been a corporate partner in Thompson Smith and Puxon. Fiona, who was born in Colchester, has long established links with the town. Her Father, David Cannon, is a former Mayor (1998), and she attended Colchester County High School for Girls. She completed both her Law Degree and her Legal Practice Course at Anglia Ruskin University, before going on to complete her training contract with a Colchester law firm. During her training Fiona worked in the Wills and Probate team and on “elderly client” matters and decided that this was the area of the law that she wanted to focus on, as it goes to the heart of any family.
