Estate Planner

I have been involved in finding solutions to people’s concerns for over 3 decades as a qualified Estate Planner. As I get older, I get better at this as every day is a school day for me. Every new client I meet teach me something new, as each person has their own set of unique circumstances. Providing guidance and advising people on what they can do to protect and preserve their asset for the long-term is a huge passion of mine. I look forward every day to finding new challenges and being a part of the team at MapleWills & Estate Planning.

I am a regular walker and enjoy swimming several times a week. I also own two house rabbits.

Office Manager

Meet Bear, who is important. His bark is to be obeyed, and he likes two walks a day. He is very experienced with dealing with tricky clients (lots of licks always works for him) and can easily be bribed with gravy flavoured biscuits.
