Louise joined Buzzacott in 2012 and is a Manager in our Private Client team.
Louise supports trusts and estates to adjust to changes in tax legislation and reporting requirements, and understand how these changes affect them. She advises on what actions clients can take to remain compliant and minimise tax exposure wherever possible. She also advises on the taxation of trusts and structures, including all tax consequences of making distributions from a trust or winding up a trust.
Louise specialises in supporting clients with each step of the probate and estate administration process, including preparing Inheritance Tax (IHT) forms following the death of an individual, applying for the grant of probate and advising on the distribution of an estate from a tax-efficient perspective.
She works closely with Buzzacott’s Financial Planning, VAT Consultancy and Expatriate Tax teams, offering her clients a holistic approach to their financial affairs. Working collaboratively with these teams, Louise is able to support with investments and pensions, VAT considerations, or US ties such as clients who are US residents or have US investments.
Prior to Buzzacott, Louise had a similar role working in personal tax, where she worked with high-net-worth individuals and businesses on trusts and payroll.
Outside of the office, Louise likes to run and swim. She can also be found being creative with art, reading and spending time with her family.
