THE arrival of a lawyer specialising in wills and probate means private clients can make even better use of the services on offer from Evans Cook Solicitors. Carole Hewett has joined the highly respected Wellingborough-based law firm which already has an excellent reputation for its residential and commercial conveyancing services. Carole, an experienced Chartered Legal Executive, holds the highly regarded Society of Trust & Estate Practitioners (STEP) qualification. She is also an Associate Member of Solicitors for the Elderly and a member of the Private Client Section of the Law Society. Now private clients can access additional legal services for issues including wills, probate, lasting powers of attorney and matters handled by the Court of Protection. Key words ‘local, professional and approachable’ will still be at the heart of the law firm, which was set up in 2007 by solicitors Mike Evans and Alison Cook. From their Broad Green offices, within walking distance of the town centre, the team has created a business that prides itself on giving a personal service to all clients. Alison said: “Conveyancing and private client services are symbiotic areas of law. When clients buy properties they often need to consider making a will and older clients often need to look at ways to protect their assets, in particular their home, in respect of inheritance tax and long-term care costs.” 2014 was a tremendously successful year for Evans Cook and we have recently recruited two further members of support staff, to add to our team. We are looking forward to an even more successful year in 2015 with the housing market in recovery and the introduction of our new Private Client Department. The firm’s local connections and understanding of the market are added advantages for clients who are welcome to meet face-to-face or liaise via email or phone. Local business and private clients regularly use the firm’s services but a growing number of clients based in London and nationwide are working with them. Mike said: “We welcome Carole to our team and are delighted it will mean more support for clients. Our personal service means many clients feel able to discuss other legal issues with us and know we will be happy to take the time to discuss their needs and wishes.” For further details contact Evans Cook Solicitors on 01933 278259, email or visit the website at www.evans-cook.co.uk
