Most of us remember the big decisions: the house, savings and who should inherit what.But what about your photographs stored online? Social media accounts? A treasured watch or piece of jewellery? Who you would want to care for your children? Your funeral wishes?

These smaller details can make an enormous difference to the people left to sort things out.

And life changes. A Will written years ago may no longer reflect your family, relationships or circumstances today.

Our latest article looks at some of the things people often overlook when writing a Will, and why it’s worth reviewing yours regularly.

When Natasha Bassett first contacted Leigh Duncan in 2021, she was 16 and looking for some after-school work experience.

This summer, she graduated from the University of Birmingham with a First Class Honours degree in LLB Law.

There was quite a bit in between.

Natasha returned to Leigh Duncan during her university holidays and, as she learned more, she was given more to do. Most recently, she worked as a Junior Paralegal within our Conveyancing team, supporting with documents, client communications and enquiries.

She also got to experience the things that are difficult to learn from a textbook: working with real clients, seeing how solicitors work and understanding the pace and responsibility that comes with a career in law.

Now, after several years as part of the team, Natasha is leaving Leigh Duncan to take her next steps.

For anyone considering a career in law, her story is a useful reminder that you don't need to wait until university to find out whether it's for you.

Natasha was 16 when she asked for an opportunity.

It turned out to be well worth asking.

𝗕𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗗𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲, 𝗶𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝗮. 🧡

Lisa Cochrane joined Leigh Duncan in 2016 as the firm’s first employee, right at the beginning when Janine and Ingmar were getting the new practice up and running.

She joined as a Conveyancing Paralegal, but ten years in a growing business has a habit of expanding the job description.

Today, alongside her conveyancing work, Lisa helps with much of what keeps the practice running day to day, from office management and HR admin to suppliers and organising team and client events.

When Lisa reflects on the last ten years, it’s the clients she comes back to.

The families who return to Leigh Duncan. The people who recommend the firm to their children. The familiar faces who come back years later when they need help again.

“It’s people like that that actually make you realise that what you’re doing is good, that we’re offering a great service and our values are right.”

Congratulations on ten years, Lisa. 🥂🧡

We’re delighted to be part of the summer edition of 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒕𝒚 𝑪𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 from Bovingdons.

Over the years, we’ve worked closely with the whole Bovingdons team on property transactions throughout Buckinghamshire, supporting clients through some of the biggest financial decisions they will make.

Property transactions work best when experienced professionals communicate clearly, work collaboratively and keep things moving calmly behind the scenes. It sounds simple, but anyone who has moved house recently will know it isn’t always guaranteed.

Thank you to Bovingdons team for including Leigh Duncan Solicitors alongside so many well-known local businesses.

𝗜𝘀 𝗗𝗜𝗬 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿?

For straightforward estates, dealing with probate yourself may be a sensible option. But it is not always clear at the outset how straightforward an estate will be.

Executors carry legal responsibilities, and mistakes involving tax, debts or the early distribution of assets can be difficult and costly to put right.

Understanding the risks early can help you decide whether to manage the process yourself or seek professional support.

Most business owners spend time planning for growth. Far fewer spend time planning for the unexpected.

If illness or an accident meant you were no longer able to make decisions, who would pay suppliers, manage payroll, speak to the bank or keep the business running?

Many people assume a spouse, fellow director or business partner could simply step in. In reality, it isn't always that straightforward.

A Business Lasting Power of Attorney allows you to appoint someone you trust to make decisions on behalf of your business if you were no longer able to make decisions for yourself. It helps ensure someone has the legal authority to deal with the practical day-to-day matters that keep the business moving.

It's one of those things you hope you'll never need. But if the unexpected happens, having the right arrangements in place can make all the difference to your business, your employees and the people who rely on you.

𝗔 𝗵𝗼𝘁 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 ☀️⛳

Last Friday, we were delighted to take part in the annual Business Connexions charity golf day in support of Wycombe Homeless Connection.

With temperatures climbing well above 30°C, it was certainly a warm day to be out on the course, but it was all worthwhile for such an important local cause.

Representing Leigh Duncan Solicitors were Janine Heil, Nick Bridger (Oakfield Surveyors), Josh Godfrey (Oakwood Estates) and Gavin Croxford (The Search Bureau).

Wycombe Homeless Connection provides vital support to people experiencing homelessness across Buckinghamshire, and we're proud to support both the charity and the work of the Business Connexions network.

A substantial amount was raised on the day, with the final fundraising total due to be announced shortly. Thank you to everyone who organised, sponsored and took part in another fantastic event.

We'll let Janine decide whether that pre-tournament golf lessons paid off! 🏌️‍♀️
