Clare started working within the area of Probate in 1990, for Midland Bank in their Trust Company dept dealing with the full admin of estates. Clare worked there for 17 years and then wanted a change of direction to be more customer facing. She moved to work within HSBC premier team, as a relationship manager dealing with a portfolio of high net worth clients, managing their expectations and being their point of contact for all their banking needs. Clare then moved to work for a firm of Solicitors in 2014 and returned to her roots to deal with Probate matters again and to include Wills, LPAs, Court of Protection and Asset Protection.
Area of law I specialise in…
-Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, Court of Protection, Asset Protection and Probate
Number of years I have worked in this field…
-22
The main reason I got into law…
-I feel that this area of Law is a very personal one and deals with sad and difficult aspects. You are often dealing with families at a time when they are going through a stressful time, when someone has passed away or they are dealing with a family member living with dementia. I feel it is a privilege to be able to help and support them at these times and be able to take away some of the pressure
The best part of working for Taylor Bracewell…
-Work for all of us at times can be busy and to have support and help from colleagues whenever you need it is key and also to be on hand to TB has a good team feel about it and everyone works towards a common goal
Outside of work I enjoy…
-I am married and have a daughter at university, so I am adjusting to empty nest syndrome! I love little trips away and family get togethers, both of which usually involve lots of nice food and drinks!
