Legal experience

Tracey entered the legal industry in 1987, starting out as an office administrator.

You can instruct Tracey to support you through the probate process.  This ranges from grant only applications to a full probate service.  Tracey will do as little or as much as you require to manage the process at a pace that suits you.  Tracey can conduct all the necessary administration on your behalf which can include working alongside the Executors or acting under a Power of Attorney.

Tracey can assist with the marketing and selling of a property, dealing with agents, house clearance, liaising with asset and liability holders.  Tracey will also advise on inheritance tax applications, ensuring any tax implications and exemptions due to you are claimed and can also advise on Deeds of Renunciation, Deeds of Variation and Deeds of Appropriation where necessary.

You can also instruct Tracey about an intestacy case (where the deceased does not have a Will).  Tracey has experience of a wide range of varying intestacy situations from straightforward to complex.  She can also liaise with tracing agents to help find missing beneficiaries and legatees
