As a fully qualified member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) and accredited member of Solicitors for the Elderly (SFE), she is able to advise clients on all aspects of their personal lifetime planning and tax queries, including protection for the more vulnerable and elderly clients.

Zoë has over ten years’ experience dealing with administration of estates and has advised on hundreds of probate and estate matters since qualifying. She is happy to see clients either in the office or in their homes, to ensure the process is as comfortable as possible for them.

Away from work Zoë can be found with her husband working on their 17th Century North Cornish cottage renovation project. When time allows, Zoë likes to escape to the coast for some open water swimming and is also a keen traveller with a love of exploring new countries and cultures.”
