Lindsay Gutteridge

As an Associate Solicitor in the Wills, Trusts and Probate team, I help customers draft wills and provide advice on tax planning, long term care, the administration of estates, lasting powers of attorney and deputyship orders.

I qualified as a Solicitor specialising in private client work in 2005 after completing my training contract with a Northamptonshire firm. I joined the Wills, Trusts and Probate team at Brethertons in 2012.

I became a full member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners in 2009 after completing the two years of detailed study and exams required to prove my expertise in private client work. I have a keen interest in long term care planning and have spoken at several local groups, webinars and networking events about this topic, as well as the importance of wills and planning for mental incapacity.

I really enjoy meeting customers face to face every day. Helping people though what can be a difficult and emotional time and resolving matters for them as swiftly and smoothly as possible is the most satisfying part of my job.

I am a keen baker and an avid reader – probably based on my previous life as a librarian!

I am currently on maternity leave, if you have any questions or would like to speak to a member of the Wills, Trusts and Probate team please contact Sarah Horton.
