David said: “We are a small friendly highly experienced team who prioritise communication and approachability over all else.

“I am delighted to welcome Samantha to the team. Her excellent knowledge and wealth of experience in this area of law will ensure our clients are fully supported when dealing with complex and life-changing issues.” 

Estate administration is the process of dealing with a deceased person’s assets, debts, and taxes before distributing the inheritance to the beneficiaries as directed in the will.
