  Ward Hadaway

  Mar 1996 - Present - Newcastle Upon Tyne, United Kingdom

  I have worked at Ward Hadaway for over 15 years, based in the Newcastle office, as part of the Private Client team advising clients in connection with wills, trusts, estate administration, law for the elderly and taxation issues. I have experience of advising clients in connection with the preparation of their wills and with respect to estate, succession and inheritance tax planning often involving the creation and administration of trusts.I am also experienced in advising the older client generally including preparation and registration of Lasting Powers of Attorney, issues of capacity and applications to the Court of Protection for the appointment of a Deputy and acting in the ongoing deputyship.I act on behalf of executors and personal representatives in the administration of estates including high value and complex estates. This often involves the implementation of tax planning commenced by the deceased during lifetime.I assist my colleagues in our Contentious Probate litigation team as deeds of variation often provide the appropriate mechanism to resolve disputes that can arise amongst family members.
