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

5

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.

I was fortunate to be referred by an acquaintance to the efficient and sympathetic solicitor regarding a problematic Will. She guided me and took instructions sensitively.
