👋 Meet the Team - Lewis Porritt

In the latest edition of our Meet the Team series, we’re delighted to introduce Lewis, a Solicitor in our Private Client team.

Lewis works closely with clients on Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, Probate and Court of Protection matters, helping to guide them through the process from start to finish.

What does he enjoy most about his role? The people. Lewis enjoys meeting people from all walks of life and helping them with things that are really important to them. He’s also lucky to work with a great team, which makes every day enjoyable. 😊

☀️ Summer often gives us a little more time to catch up on the jobs we've been meaning to do.

🏖️ While you're planning holidays, spending time with family or simply enjoying the longer days, it's also a great opportunity to tackle some important life admin.

📋 One task that's often on the to-do list (but rarely gets ticked off) is getting your legal affairs in order.

Now is the perfect time to:

- Check your will is up to date to make sure your wishes are protected
- Put Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs) in place
- Review your estate planning to take into account recent and upcoming changes to inheritance tax

Taking a little time now can give you and your loved ones valuable peace of mind, so you can enjoy the rest of the summer knowing your plans for the future are in place. ✅

📞 Contact our Private Client Solicitors on 01924 387 171, who will help guide you through the process of protecting your family and your assets.

🌐 Or find more information on all of these areas at JWPSolicitors.co.uk
