My story

Built on Experience and Integrity

After many years in financial services, I saw how often families and business owners struggled with unclear or impersonal advice. That’s why I started this business — to make professional estate planning straightforward, transparent and human.

I’m proud to be a qualified member of the Institute of Professional Will Writers, providing services you can trust in an unregulated sector. My work is backed by professional indemnity insurance and full ICO registration, so your plans and information are always protected.

“My role is simple: to listen, understand what matters to you, and help you make confident decisions about the future.”

More questions answered
How long does it take to set everything up?

Most services are completed within a few weeks, depending on what’s required and how quickly documents are reviewed and approved.

Do I need to prepare anything before our first meeting?

Not usually — I’ll guide you on anything helpful to have, but the first conversation is simply about understanding your situation and priorities.

Yes, I regularly work with advisers and accountants to ensure your planning is joined-up and aligned with your wider financial picture.

I provide estate planning services across the North West of England, with in-person appointments available locally. I’m based in Crosby and also work with clients remotely where appropriate.
