Sandra Worthington

Having decided at an early age that I wanted to pursue a career in law, I attended the University of Exeter, Carleton University, Ontario and Oxford Institute of Legal Practice to complete my legal education. More recently, I have completed the Society for Trust and Estate Practitioner’s Diploma.

My training, with a national firm, was heavily focused on serving private clients in various different specialisms which has given me an invaluable understanding of the challenges faced by individuals, no matter what area of law you call it.

After qualifying as a solicitor in 2013, I spent a couple of years with a well-known local high street firm providing general private client services before deciding I wanted to focus specifically on estate administration and I haven’t looked back since. After nearly 9 years at a top 100 law firm, I joined the exceptional private client team at Wollens in 2024 to continue specialising in estate administration.

Over the years, I have encountered many different and complicated situations that people find themselves in after the death of a loved one with a few surprises along the way. I understand the importance of a trusted and empathetic advisor to help navigate an emotionally challenging time. My clients are at the heart of what I do, which underpins the service you will receive from any representative of Wollens. I believe in a team approach, be it with fellow colleagues in other specialisms or external advisors. I have particular experience in complex and taxable estates as well as fulfilling additional requirements required by charitable administrators or beneficiaries.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family which largely consists of building train tracks and reading stories. On sunny days you will find me out exploring the beautiful countryside. On rainy days, I enjoy a good film, particularly musicals, and quizzes.

Testimonials

My will was all done remotely by phone, notes, letters due to the distance involved – about 145 miles, general health and Covid restrictions.
More recently I had a serious illness with loss of driving license and other lasting problems but I have been very lucky with the outcome. What seemed difficult was much easier with the help I was given. Excellent service. Solicitor Alex Jenkins and secretary Enya Garrett have been friendly, considerate, shown knowledge in an understanding way throughout preparing my will – and I have never met them.
Wollens is highly recommended.

Craig and Shirley at Wollen’s have supported us throughout a particularly tricky matter, where usual routes of communication were not possible. The advice that we were given was always very clear and concise and we found Wollen’s very responsive to any queries or concerns. They were conscious of the weighty emotional element involved but very mindful of removing the emotion from decision making processes, which made it easier to see the bigger picture. I would certainly recommend to friends or colleagues requiring legal support.

From the initial request, price quote, discussion and follow up we couldn’t have wanted a better, more personal and quick approach to help us have a contract checked over. Marco was extremely helpful, personable and knowledgeable. He cut through all the lawyers jargon and made it all very easy to understand. We would wholeheartedly recommend Wollen’s and are looking forward to working with Marco as our sons career progresses in the future.

Trusted Wollens with the sale of my share of a business that I had started from scratch some 20 years ago so as you can imagine this was quite a sensitive journey for me. Have never done anything like this before so didn’t know quite what to expect, expectations and reality are quite different, but Wollens have your best interests at heart so you can’t rush a good job. The sale has now all gone through and I can move on with the next part of my life. I thank Wollens and both Emma’s very much for all their hard work.
