Charities (Acting for)
Debra is a specialist contentious trust and probate solicitor who advises on all areas of contentious trust and probate matters, representing private individuals, trusts and charities.
Debra has an excellent reputation advising on all areas of contentious trust and probate including will challenges, 1975 Act claims, rectification claims and professional negligence. She adopts a sensitive yet practical approach to handling such disputes, advocating the use of alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation.
Claims concerning estates and trusts can be a very emotive and distressing – I aim to make the process as easy as possible whilst seeking the best possible outcome for my clients.
