We are delighted to announce that we have appointed highly experienced lawyer, Samantha Taylor to lead the probate arm of the team.  

Samantha, who lives in Bath, said: “I’m excited to be joining the team here at Whitworth Law. One of the firm’s core values is to ensure all clients receive a truly personal, tailored service – something I believe in wholeheartedly. 

“Dealing with an estate after a family member has passed away is an emotional period in someone’s life. Every estate is different and our clients may wish for us to take the lead, but equally they may want to take on some of the processes themselves.

“My aim is to take the stress out of the process at this difficult time. I want to ensure our clients are given the choice to deal with matters in a way which suits them, and to guide and support them every step of the way.”

Samantha, who joins as a Senior Associate, will be working alongside David Whitworth, who founded Whitworth Law in 2021 and Jenny Davies, David’s Executive PA. 

Samantha graduated from Cardiff University with a first class honours degree and, before joining Whitworth Law, she worked at Stone King and Mowbray Woodwards in Bath. In October 2016 she completed her post-graduate diploma in law and became a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives.

With over 10 years’ experience, Samantha is a specialist in probate and estate administration. In her new role at Whitworth Law she will lead the Probate and Estate Administration Department which deals with a variety of estates, including high net worth and those of a more complex nature. 

Whitworth Law, based in Queen Square, specialises in wills, probate, estate planning and trusts and is led by established and highly regarded private client specialist, David Whitworth, who for many years was head of Wills, Trusts and Probate at Mowbray Woodwards.

David said: “In today’s world where corporates are prioritising automation and over personal service, here at Whitworth Law we like to be different. We are a small friendly highly experienced team who prioritise communication and approachability over all else.

“I am delighted to welcome Samantha to the team. Her excellent knowledge and wealth of experience in this area of law will ensure our clients are fully supported when dealing with complex and life-changing issues.” 

Estate administration is the process of dealing with a deceased person’s assets, debts, and taxes before distributing the inheritance to the beneficiaries as directed in the will. 

Samantha is currently offering an initial free phone consultation to talk through the probate process. If you need help in this area you can set up a call by emailing: office@whitworth-law.co.uk or calling: 01225 233 246.
