Alex is a Partner in the firm’s Private Client team. Alex has wide experience in this field, with a particular interest in inheritance tax and succession planning, estate administration and later life planning. Alex is a full member of the professional body STEP, the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners, which highlights her particular expertise in these fields.

Family solicitor - personal service
This firm has handled all the families legal requirements over the generations in its various forms. I would like to commend Alex on her handling of my husbands probate and estate. She handled it sensitively in a time of bereavement which must have been challenging for her faced with my distress.

LPA & Will
A very professional service provided with due care and attention given to my elderly relative who was a bit nervous about the process. We were put at ease and dealt with in a sympathetic manner.

Updating my Will
I contacted my solicitor to discuss updating my will. I was very pleased with the interview and discussion. Alex then sorted out the amended details. The coronavirus lockdown was then put in place, Alex sent my new will by email. I managed to get it signed observing social distancing measures. Now all complete, thankfully.
