• Advising on complex wills including trusts.

Elizabeth lives locally in Epsom and enjoys going to the theatre, classical concerts, reading and singing in a choir.

“I was incredibly grateful for all the excellent legal advice that Elizabeth provided me with and her prompt response to my questions, but I also really warmed to her as someone who possesses the qualities of kindness and integrity. I am only too aware of how vulnerable most people feel when they lose a loved one, so for me personally, it was important to find someone that I felt comfortable with. Elizabeth Maurice certainly falls into this category, as well as being meticulous in her approach to drawing up a will. I would definitely recommend her to my friends.”

“Thank you so much for your help, I found the meeting very helpful! Thank you so much for going through things so carefully and thoroughly.”
