Samantha Webb

Partner

I joined Crane & Staples in 2007 and qualified as a Solicitor in June 2009. In April 2018, I became a Partner in the Wills, Trust and Probate department.

I have a breadth of experience in all areas of private client work, including:

  • Court of Protection applications, including statutory wills and gift applications, acting for both applicants and respondents.
  • Administration of estates, including complex and high value estates.
  • Preparation of Lasting Powers of Attorney.
  • Advising older, vulnerable or unwell individuals and their families.
  • Preparation of Wills
  • Advice regarding Inheritance Tax
  • Declarations of Trusts concerning property ownership.

My sensitive, friendly and professional manner helps to reassure clients through potentially difficult times. I enjoy getting to know my clients and take pride in my personal approach to client care.

I am the firm’s Marketing Partner and this gives me the opportunity to form close relationships with local charities and participate in community events.

I am also the firm's Wellness Partner, where I organise staff wellness initiatives and encourage open discussions to promote a healthy work life balance.

Accreditations

I am a fully qualified member of The Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) – the global professional body for practitioners who are recognised as experts in family inheritance and succession planning.

Additionally, I am an accredited member of Lifetime Lawyers – a national organisation of specialist Private Client Solicitors.

My expertise is further recognised by my inclusion as a Legal 500 Next Generation Partner and as a Ranked Individual in the Chambers & Partners High Net Worth Guide.

Furthermore, having undergone training to become a Dementia Friend, I have a greater understanding of and ability to support individuals living with dementia.
