Solicitor at Mogers Drewett LLP
Rebecca Beresford
Solicitor - Partner
SRA ID: 21123
I am a partner in our specialist trust team. I advise on the creation, administration and winding up of trusts, both from the tax-planning angle but also the use of trusts for succession planning and protection of assets. I also advise on Wills and estate planning, and powers of attorney and regularly deal with agricultural estates, in terms of drafting tax-efficient wills and succession planning for our farming clients. What I love most about my job is being the trusted adviser across the different generations of a family. It is the continuity of involvement that gives me real satisfaction. I live near Sherborne with my family and love hill walking. You can also find me on a sports field, cheering on my footie mad sons!

Selling 43 High Lea, Yeovil
My parents have used the solicitors in the past (or a previous incarnation!) so it seemed the obvious choice when selling their property, following the death of my widowed mother.
I have found the solicitors friendly, approachable and efficient. They have kept me informed, and responded promptly to my queries.

Resolution of Family and Inheritance Tax Issues
Preparation of new Wills and Powers of Attorney. This was a difficult decision making process as we have new family and potential Inheritance Tax issues. Fortunately Rebecca Beresford was able to interpret our wishes and come up with excellent solutions.
