Tracy is a Solicitor of over 20 years standing and is a member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) and also of Solicitors for the Elderly (SFE).  Tracy works in our Wills & Probate Department in Driffield.  She was Head of the Wills & Probate Department at another firm for many years before joining Williamsons. 

Tracy deals with a wide range of matters in our Wills & Probate Department including Wills (incorporating planning regarding care fees and inheritance tax), preparing and registering Lasting Powers of Attorney, Court of Protection matters (including applications to be appointed as a Deputy and related applications), Trusts including Personal Injury Trusts, Grants of Probate, and Estate Administration.

Tracy enjoys meeting all our clients, young and old, and endeavours to make all clients feel comfortable and reassured no matter what the circumstances.  A client’s contact with solicitors can often be at a very upsetting time when a close family member has passed away, when a family member is losing mental capacity, or simply being anxious in respect of putting one’s own affairs in order.  Some clients have family who can support them at these times, whilst others have no-one to talk to.  She is empathetic, patient and friendly and will do her utmost to put her client at ease, taking whatever time is required to ensure that a client fully understands the legal matter she is dealing with for them.  It is her aim to make the process as clear and straightforward as possible for the client, whilst ensuring the highest professional standards are followed.

Tracy also acts as Attorney for a number of her long-standing clients which involves managing their financial affairs.  She can assist new clients in a similar way if a client wishes to appoint the Directors of Williamsons as Attorneys, by handling the day-to-day practicalities on their behalf.

Tracy is married and outside of work she enjoys spending time with her husband, and regularly visits her father and sister in West Yorkshire.  She loves her garden (as long as someone else does the weeding!) and enjoys trips to the theatre, and holidays in the UK and abroad.
