Law firm launches new wills and probate practice

Preston-based Adkirk Law has launched a new wills and probate practice to sit alongside its existing conveyancing practice.

The practice will be led by new recruit Hannah Clarkson.

Hannah joins from Thurnhills Solicitors, where she worked since 2016 and completed her training to qualify as a solicitor.

She specialises in advising clients in respect of wills, trusts and LPAs, as well as wider asset management and Probate. 

Linda Kirk, co-founder of Adkirk Law, said: "There is a natural synergy between conveyancing and probate. We have always placed clients’ needs at the heart of our work and this development reflects a market need to serve as a single service point for people looking to buy and manage their properties and assets. We’re delighted to welcome Hannah to the firm to lead the practice." 

Hannah added: “I’m thrilled to join Adkirk and to support in helping the firm achieve ambitious plans for itself, its people and its clients. With the conveyancing arm of the firm well established in the area, there was a clear need amongst clients for legal advice on managing and planning around their homes and assets, which we are now able to provide in full.

“Conveyancing work is naturally interlinked with services around planning for and managing people’s assets, and so we look forward to now being able to offer these important additional services to our clients."
