English probate solicitor, a job I love, and one which encourages you to live life outside the office to the full - art, sport, music, culture, travel 🩵
It might seem like a quick and easy way to update your wishes, but informal alterations can create a number of problems.

1 in 4 of us have had suicidal thoughts.

That statistic is worth sitting with for a moment.

Coming into a solicitor’s office at one of the most difficult times in your life isn’t easy.

William Shakespeare's Will famously left his wife, Anne Hathaway, his "second-best bed." On the surface, it sounds like a slight. A great writer's final, cutting word to the woman he married.

Few lines in legal history have caused as much debate as this one, but context matters.

Every three minutes, someone in the UK develops dementia.

Behind every diagnosis is a family trying to make sense of something frightening, unfamiliar, and relentless - often exhausted, often overwhelmed, and often unsure where to turn.

"Probate” is often used to describe the legal process of administering an estate, allowing the distribution of a deceased assets to beneficiaries.

Life changes. Your wishes can change too.

So it might seem simple to take your existing Will and hand-write an amendment.

But this can create serious problems.

Probate is something many of us have heard of, but few understand until we need it. I know it can feel complicated, especially when you’re dealing with it for the first time.

So, over the coming weeks, I’ll be answering some of the questions I’m asked most often about probate.

Most Wills deal with finances, property, and possessions.

But Harry Houdini had something else in mind.

The world's most famous escapologist left his wife a secret code, asking her to try to contact him from beyond the grave.

Older age isn't just something to be managed. It's something to be lived.

I’ve been working in probate for around 30 years, and I’ve learned that no two estates are ever the same.

I’ve helped clients across the world navigate the administration of English estates, with particular experience in matters spanning Ireland and England.

You’re busy running your business. Just pause for a moment.

What would happen if you were suddenly ill / incapacitated or god forbid worse?

There are few losses as profound as the death of a child.

Whether that child was an infant, a teenager, or a grown adult - the grief is unlike almost anything else. And yet it's a grief that can feel impossibly isolating.

People come to me at some of the hardest moments in their lives. Getting the legal work right matters enormously, but so does making sure people feel heard before any of that begins.

Thank you for taking the time to say so. 💜

A Will is usually thought of as a serious, formal document.

But this does not have to be the case...

Behind every person living with dementia is someone caring for them.

A partner. A child. A sibling. A friend. Someone who has quietly reorganised their entire life around another person's needs — often without enough support, recognition, or rest.

Throughout the probate process, executors are expected to make practical and financial decisions about property, possessions, and the timing of distributions while still emotionally raw.
August 24, 2026 at 5:30 AM
This one says it all.

Nobody wants to be in the position of winding up a loved one's estate. Nobody chooses this process. It arrives at the worst possible time, alongside grief, exhaustion and a hundred other things that need attention.

Probate doesn't just involve legal processes. Sometimes it brings to the surface things that have been quietly simmering for years.

Making a Will can feel daunting.
August 12, 2026 at 5:30 AM
Being an executor is one of the hardest things many people will ever do.

You are expected to close accounts, sell property, distribute belongings - often the most personal and emotionally charged possessions imaginable while simultaneously coping with loss, shock, and exhaustion.

Older age can bring joy and wisdom - but for many, it also brings loneliness, isolation, poor health, or financial hardship.
August 7, 2026 at 5:30 AM
That feeling of relief that someone else has it handled is exactly what I hope clients feel after we first meet.

A difficult time becomes a little easier when you're not carrying it alone.

Families don't always talk about their full history.

Children born outside marriage. Unofficial or official adoptions.
