Abigail came to law late, having already run her own business and with a practical approach to solving her clients’ problems. She believes that her earlier career allows her to have a better understanding of the issues faced by her clients. She views part of her role as educational and always wants her clients to understand more about their matter at the end than at the beginning.

Abigail specialises in:

  • Wills, incorporating estate planning
  • Trusts
  • Probate applications
  • Estate administration
  • Lasting Powers of Attorney
  • Court of Protection Applications

She has a 1st class honours degree in law and, since qualifying as a solicitor, has furthered her specialism by joining the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP), holding their diploma since 2009. She qualified as a notary public in 2019.

She joined Excello to focus entirely on her clients, allowing her years of experience and expertise to deliver the level of service they deserve, at a realistic cost to them.
