A little more about Sophie
Outside of work, Sophie enjoys long and muddy countryside walks, singing in her local choir, and browsing antique shops for hidden treasures. Having recently moved to the countryside near Basingstoke with her partner, she is enjoying exploring the local area and becoming part of the community.

If you require assistance with Wills, Powers of Attorney, or the administration of an estate following a death, Sophie would be pleased to help.
