Sarah Walker

Executive Partner

Biography

I am an Executive Partner and joint Head of the Private Client department at Tees. I have extensive experience in all areas of private client work, including estate and inheritance tax planning, wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, estate administration and trusts. I have a particular interest in and experience in Anglo-French matters. I assist many clients with preparing French wills, advising on French estate and inheritance tax planning and dealing with estates, including French assets.

Delivering what you really need

I aim to communicate clearly, be approachable, and provide practical and effective advice tailored to each client’s needs. Clients tell me that my experience of both UK and French inheritance tax and law is invaluable, as it allows me to advise them on the implications in both countries and help them find a best-fit solution. I am also used to working with other clients’ advisors.

Expertise

Sarah Walker was exceptional in helping us with wills in France and UK. She listens brilliantly, responds appropriately, and gave clear and simple principles to work to.

Further information
