Could your firm do with some help, guidance or assistance in all matters relating to Wills, Probate, Trusts & Tax?
If you are a law practice or accountancy firm or a member of STEP (Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners) and need a second opinion or specific advice on a particular client matter I can help. I can also provide more generic legal advice, the knowledge of which could benefit your firm in the long term.
I set up Gill Steel Law Practice in January 1996, specialising in Wills, Probate, Trusts and Tax. From the outset the firm only provides advice to private client departments in these areas.
I qualified as a solicitor in July 1983 and currently I act as a consultant to Blake Lapthorn. I am a member of the Law Society's Wills & Equity Committee, STEP's UK Practice Committee and the Association of Taxation Technicians.
Trying to keep up to date with the changes in legislation and trying to resolve difficult client matters can be testing and time consuming. By outsourcing your technical queries in my specialist areas of Wills, Probate, Trusts and Tax you will have legal technical assistance at your fingertips.
If you would like to consult me, my working practice is along the following lines:
