South Essex-based law firm, Palmers Solicitors, has promoted Laura Carter to become an Associate Chartered Legal Executive in the Wills and Probate team at the firm’s South Woodham Ferrers offices.
Laura’s promotion is an important investment in the practice’s Wills and Probate team as demand for its services continues to soar.

When asked what she enjoys most about her role, Laura said: ““I enjoy being able to deal with such a wide range of matters and I take particular comfort from helping bereaved clients through the estate administration process. At a challenging time some can find this to be quite an ordeal and being able to lift some of this burden from their shoulders makes a big difference”
Laura’s promotion will see her increase her contribution to the development of Palmers’ Wills and Probate team in South Woodham Ferrers, led by Director, Tim Steele.
