Legal 500 2022 Leading Individual logo

I specialise in advising high net worth individuals, families, farmers and business owners on succession planning in their lifetime and on death. This includes advice on:

trusts and the protection of assets;
inheritance tax planning;
Wills;
structuring the ownership of joint assets;
powers of attorney; and
administration of estates on death.

I work closely with an established network of accountants, stockbrokers and land agents in achieving good outcomes for clients.

I am a Notary Public dealing with the execution of foreign legal documents.

I am highly experienced with an extensive knowledge of inheritance tax planning and trusts. I take a very thorough, detailed, and sympathetic approach in acting for clients in order to achieve their aims and add value. I give clear and practical advice and am determined to achieve a good outcome.

I was named as a Notable Practitioner in Chambers Private Wealth Law 2021 Edition.

Memberships:

One source says "Isabel is very knowledgeable and able to explain technical details so that it is easy to understand. From a personal perspective Isabel is always happy to ask questions and check on the detail. This is particularly important for Court of Protection or Trust cases, where a cautious and considered approach is absolutely essential". Another source says "Isabel is incredibly empathetic and is very well liked by all she deals with which sets her and Paris Smith apart from other law firms. In terms of quality of advice and how it is delivered clearly and compassionately, Isabel is the best I have worked with".
