• Application to the Court of Protection for the removal and appointment of Trustees and Deputyship applications for incapacitated patients.
• Reviewing clients’ existing Wills and preparing the new Wills where necessary to include Inheritance Tax planning.
• Obtaining Grants of Probate and administering estates or assisting lay Executors with very straightforward estates through to complex, multi property and multi jurisdictional estates.
• Preparing and registering Lasting Powers of Attorney with adequate safeguards to protect the Donor in light of recent case law.
• Advising on and drafting Trust Deeds.
• Charity formation.

Nicki also acts as a Trustee and on the executive committee for two local charities and has working knowledge of some of the difficulties that smaller charities can face.

Outside of work Nicki spends her time training and producing quirky and young horses for show jumping around the UK.  In any spare time she enjoys reading, walking, painting and fast cars.
