I joined Wollens in January 2013 as a solicitor having completed my training with another local firm. Having grown up in South Devon, I studied Law at Reading University before returning to Devon and completing my Legal Practice Course at Plymouth University in 2008.
As a Senior Associate in Wollens Estate Administration Team I assist clients across Devon and further afield with various Private Client advice but specialise in complex Estate Administration. I have helped many clients through the process when someone dies in a way that best suits their individual requirements; from assisting with simpler Probate applications and Estate Administration to navigating Grant applications and Estates with any number of complications to ensure the best outcome can be achieved.
In my spare time I enjoy visiting other countries and cultures, spending time with my family and participating in a variety of sports including playing hockey for local club Dart.

Testimonials
I was very impressed with everything to do with my will update. Professional advice and opinion is always essential. Very satisfied with everything, Tom is a very knowledgeable and attentive solicitor. Thank you.
My wife and I recently used Tom Calder at Wollens Torquay to prepare LPAs for us both. Tom was very professional and approachable and we were very pleased with the service we had. We have previously used Wollens for property transactions and we will certainly be using them again.
We were very impressed with the outcome of our wills due to the complexity of our situation. Tom took his time to offer the solution that we feel happy with.
I have been delighted with the way in which Tom and his team at Wollens dealt with probate for my mother’s will and the subsequent settling of her estate. In particular, I really appreciated the manner in which I was kept informed of what was happening and why, and the speed and clarity with which that was done. Based on experiences that other people have had with other solicitors, I was expecting to have to keep chasing but I was delighted to find that with Wollens that was far from the case. Many thanks.
This was a delicate matter and something one does not wish to experience again if possible. I received very detailed advice and sympathy from the outset and this team dealt with all aspects of the work needed to bring a conclusion of the matter to my satisfaction. I would definitely recommend Tom and his team to family and friends.
