Best Solicitors has strengthened its trusts and estates department with the appointment of two legal advisers.
Ellie Whitehead and Alicia Mate join the 21-year-old law firm, which has four offices including in Sheffield and Barnsley, from Co-op Legal.
The trusts and estates department offers advice on wills, lasting powers of attorney, Court of Protection matters, and tax and estates planning.
Anne Rogers, director of private client, wills and probate at Best Solicitors, said: “We are delighted to welcome both Ellie and Alicia to the team to further strengthen our service and offer to clients. Working with families to ensure that they protect their assets and loved ones is close to our heart.
“We pride ourselves on providing empathetic advice and support to help clients plan, and protect their, and their family’s future.
“Ellie and Alicia are a great addition to the firm. The team has recently received dementia training to help us further improve our skills, and understanding, when supporting the most vulnerable of clients.
“Considering what, and who, to include in a will, having a lasting power of attorney in place, and managing probate or Court of Protection matters, can involve emotive and sensitive considerations and conversations. Our clients are supported every step of the way of their journey.”
Rogers joined Best Solicitors in September 2022 and the department appointed Emily Ward as a legal assistant in trusts and probate in October. It is also supported by trainee solicitor Ishbel Saward.
