Partner returns to law as head of wills & probate

Northern firm Forbes Solicitors has welcomed back Jane Burbidge to the practice as partner and head of the wills, probate, tax and trusts team.

Jane, who qualified as a solicitor in 1998, first joined Forbes in 2003; her return now comes as part of the Law Returners Programme, supported by the Law Society and Women’s Returners Network. Jane specialises in estate planning, including drafting wills and trusts and advising on inheritance and other tax issues, as well as dealing with probate matters and estate administration.

Jane commented: ‘It is great to be back at Forbes, working with such a strong team which has a great track record. Whether you are a family member or executor, dealing with a will after a person's death can be a complex affair, which is why our team is dedicated to ensuring the process is dealt with care and compassion.’
