Local solicitor Neelam Maher (daughter of Jaimal Arshi Modhwadia – Kettering, Northamptonshire ) has successfully completed the STEP Diploma in Trusts and Estates which now enables her to become a full member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners. Neelam, an associate at QualitySolicitors Wilson Browne, advises clients on all aspects of wills, estates, tax planning and the setting up and administration of trusts.
“I act for a large number of clients who have assets in trust. Trusts can be set up during a person’s lifetime or under their wills to take effect upon death and they are flexible mechanisms which can be used to achieve many different purposes. It’s fascinating work and I really enjoy it. This qualification is really a seal of approval for me,” explained Neelam.
“It’s a fantastic achievement,” congratulated Jim Kearns who works with Neelam at the firm’s office in Higham Ferrers. “Our private client team is one of the largest in the county and Neelam is a huge asset to us.”
