Harrison Drury has expanded its wills, trusts and probate team with the appointment of experienced senior probate executive, Amanda Brown.

Amanda joins from Napthens, where she worked for 30 years, and will be based at Harrison Drury’s Preston office serving clients across the region.

She will support with all aspects of estate administration, including applications for grants of probate, letters of administration, and lasting powers of attorney.

Amanda specialises in estates made up of both rural and business assets, this includes advising on and claiming Agricultural Property Relief (APR) and Business Property Relief (BPR), ensuring that clients can make the most of available reliefs and preserve the value of estates. 

Charlotte Cooper, legal director in the wills, trusts and probate team at Harrison Drury, said: “We’re all about bringing in the best legal talent from across the region, and Amanda is a fantastic example of that. 

“She has a real depth of expertise, especially when it comes to estates involving rural and business assets, making her a great fit for our team. We know our clients are going to really value her support.”

Amanda added: “I'm excited to be joining Harrison Drury, a firm that’s known for genuinely looking after its people and going the extra mile for clients.

“It’s great to be part of a team that supports rural communities with sensitive and sometimes complex matters like wills and probate. It means a lot to be able to help people protect what matters most and give them peace of mind for the future.”
