Kirsty Gazzard

Wills and Probate Executive

Kirsty joined our Wills, Probate & Estate Planning department in 2018 after successfully completing her A-levels, including law, in June 2018. She is currently a Wills and Probate Executive, an Associate Member of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives (ACILEx), and is studying the CILEx Diploma in Law and Practice, alongside work, to qualify as a Chartered Legal Executive in 2025. She has gained valuable experience by working alongside Partners in drafting Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney, Court of Protection matters, obtaining Grants of Probate and carrying out estate administration. Kirsty places vital importance on taking the time to get to know her clients and their needs to ensure they receive a service that is personalised to them and their requirements. Seeing clients from all different walks of life and those at different stages of their life, Kirsty tailors her approach with a friendly and empathetic nature, getting satisfaction from knowing that she has helped her clients during challenging and difficult times in their lives. During her time with the team, she has built close working relationships with our charity partners, in particular Salisbury Hospice and Wiltshire Air Ambulance, to develop and run Wills schemes to benefit the charities. One highlight in her career has been to be part of the team that won the British Wills and Probate Awards 2020 award for best use of marketing and social media. This was for a campaign run during the Covid-19 pandemic with our NHS/Essential Workers Will Scheme which was set up by the department to support NHS workers.
