What does a Private Client Solicitor do?

Private Client Solicitor Definition

Not to be confused with the term private client in the financial world, you don't have to be a high net worth individual to use the services of a private client solicitor. A private client solicitor will act on behalf of an individual or families to provide legal advice on a variety of matters such as investments, taxation, estate management, wills and testamentary issues.

A good private client solicitor can help you prepare legally for anything that life may throw at you. For instance, having a will, no matter how small your estate will help ensure the people you want to protect will be legally protected in the event of your death. A Will can ensure that if something happens to you, your house will be transferred to your partner and step-children rather than your next of kin who may be a sibling or parent.
