My Story

Why ask me to draft your Wills?

A languages teacher for 15 years both in England and Australia, I was seeking a new career challenge and jumped at the chance to be trained and mentored in Will writing by David Cochrane, author of ‘The Willwriter’s Handbook’. 


Proud to represent the beautiful West Country and to be a sole trader based in Somerset’s county town, I first set up Taunton Wills, preparing Wills, Trusts and Lasting Powers of Attorney to an ever-growing client base. 


With clients across Bristol, Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and Somerset, it made sense to change my business name in 2022 to West Country Wills.

What you can expect from me

I've carried through from Taunton Wills to West Country Wills an ethos, taken from David Cochrane’s training, of asking a fair fee from the client that reflects my training, expertise and experience in drafting such vital documents. 


I also passed examinations with and became a member of the Society of Will Writers (for whom I am now Secretary of the South-West regional group). 


My USP is bringing my teaching background to the fore by listening to my clients’ individual requirements and writing the estate planning documents that fit their particular needs. David remains on hand in the event that any client’s particular situation requires his input and guidance, whilst David still uses my keen eye for detail in proof-reading documents (once an exam marker, always an exam marker!).

My promise to you

As a client of West Country Wills you can rely on: 

  • my friendly and sensitive approach to taking instructions for and advising on your estate planning, 
  • my professionalism in preparing your important documents in a thorough manner and in a timely fashion, and 
  • my ongoing approachability should you want to make any changes or discuss further estate planning matters.

As I have built up a client base throughout Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and Somerset as well as in Bristol and North Somerset, it made sense to change names to West Country Wills.
