About Caroline
I qualified as a solicitor in 2004 and joined the Private Client Department at Hatch Brenner in 2009. I was appointed to the Partnership in April 2017, and am the Head of the Private Client Department.
I advise clients in relation to wills, probate, administration of estates and intestacy, powers of attorney and Court of Protection applications, trust issues including setting up and administration and disputed wills. I particularly like working with older clients and assisting clients with inheritance tax and capital gains tax planning.
I am a friendly and approachable solicitor who will deal with your legal issues using straightforward explanation and tailoring solutions depending on your circumstances as I do not believe in a “one size fits all” approach. Finding a course of action that is right for you as an individual is my goal.
I studied at Hull University and completed my LPC at the College of Law, York. I have been a full member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners since 2007, and am a member of the Solicitors for the Elderly group.
