Behind the Will is a blog series that explores the stories, challenges, and lessons that arise in wills, probate, and private client law. It looks beyond the documents to the human experiences, highlighting both practical and emotional aspects.

To combine my legal studies and passion for private client law with accessible writing. I wanted to share insights that bring the subject to life, showing both the technical side of wills and the human stories that drive them.
Some posts will discuss well-known, publicly reported cases. Others may draw inspiration from real scenarios but will always be anonymised, adapted, or hypothetical to protect confidentiality.
