Helen Damshek

Solicitor

Estate Planning

Biography

I qualified as a Solicitor in September 2024 and joined the Tees Law Private Client department. I trained at another regional firm based in East Anglia, where I completed seats in the Private Client,  Family, Commercial Property and Shipping and International trade teams. Prior to my return to law, I also trained as a Secondary School English teacher.

My areas of expertise include advising and preparing Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney, alongside assisting with Probate and Letters of Administration. I am also involved in Estate and IHT planning and assisting with other related work within the team.

Delivering what you really need

I understand that approaching solicitors can be daunting, especially during periods which are difficult and emotionally charged. I am therefore dedicated to providing a clear, compassionate, and personal service to clients. I aim to ensure this period is managed as smoothly and efficiently as possible, so that you are able to focus on more important matters.

Expertise

I've never found an area where Tees have been unable to help. There is considerable strength across the organisation. Individuals have good contacts outside of their practice area. I have always found Tees accessible and helpful.

Further information

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my children and exploring the countryside. I also enjoy swimming, reading, and baking.

In the future, I plan to become a member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) and undertake the STEP Diploma in Trust and Estate Planning.
