Solicitor with 20 years of experience in the field of Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, and Probate

With 20 years of experience in the field of Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, and Probate, I specialise in guiding clients through some of life’s most important and sensitive decisions. My expertise lies in helping individuals create tailored Wills, navigate the complexities of Lasting Powers of Attorney, and manage the intricacies of Probate after a loved one’s passing.
I take pride in providing compassionate and thorough advice to those who are dealing with the loss of a family member, offering support during what can be a difficult and emotional time. From taking clear instructions for Wills to helping clients with the preparation of Lasting Powers of Attorney and registration of Enduring Powers of Attorney, my focus is always on delivering a service that is both professional and empathetic. Additionally, I assist with applications to be appointed as a Deputy by the Court of Protection, ensuring that clients are well-supported through every step of the process.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my young family and am an avid golfer. I try to maintain a healthy work-life balance, and my passion for spending time with family and friends, and being outdoors and active, provides me with a great way to unwind and connect with others.
If you need assistance with Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, or Probate, I’m here to offer expert advice and peace of mind, every step of the way.

My husband and I are retiring and are navigating multiple pensions and the sale of a small property portfolio. This is in addition to dealing with my Mum’s estate and the unexpected matter of my Dad’s Will. To say recent months have been difficult is an understatement! Your help has been invaluable, and I cannot thank you enough. You have dealt with the whole probate situation for me in such a professional manner, somehow managing to get such a quick resolution, and will never know the positive impact your actions have had on my mental wellbeing. I wish you the very best for the future and have no hesitation in recommending your services.

I contacted 2 companies and they never returned my call, so I wasted 2 weeks waiting for them. As soon as I contacted Rucklidge my call was returned within 2 hours and my request was dealt with. Your office was clear about the costs that we would incur, and the advice from Claire was easily understood for me to follow.
