Sarah Horton

I am thrilled to have joined Brethertons as a Partner in the Wills, Trusts & Probate team.

I qualified as a solicitor in 2008 and have specialised in Wills, Trusts, Probate, Powers of Attorney and estate administration since then. I assist customers in all of these areas, from the straightforward to the complex. I also qualified as a member of The Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) in October 2014.

As a solicitor in this department, my areas of practice include the following:-

• Will drafting
• Estate administration and distribution, including inheritance tax calculations
• Intestacy administration
• Trust creation, administration and distribution
• Advice on all aspects of probate related UK taxation and reliefs
• Lasting Power of Attorney advice, completion and registration
• Court of Protection Deputy applications

  I really enjoy my job and take great pride in my role – I am a compassionate, patient, diligent person and really value being able to work closely with my customers, understand their unique circumstances and provide support in what can be difficult topics to deal with.
