Sarah advises individuals and families on the management of their estates, before and after death.

Sarah works with people who are often at very difficult periods in their lives. Sarah handles people’s personal affairs in a sensitive but efficient way.

  • Preparation of Wills
  • Setting up trusts
  • Inheritance tax and its mitigation, where it may be an issue now or in the future
