Background

About Sarah Playforth

I work in the private client team at Kingsley Napley LLP where I do a mixture of Court of Protection and 'traditional' private client work. On the Court of Protection side, I administer Property & Affairs Deputyships for clients who have suffered catastrophic brain injuries and received substantial clinical negligence settlements. In particular, I look after the affairs of children with cerebral palsy. This often involves purchasing and adapting a property and setting up 24-7 care regimes. On the private client side, I act for medium to high net-worth clients on all sorts of matters, including preparing Wills, administering Estates, and advising on Trusts, tax and charities. I advise clients in relation to Lasting Powers of Attorney and end-of-life decision-making (Advance Decisions). I qualfied as a solicitor in September 2011, having trained at Kingsley Napley. Before turning to the law, I worked in local journalism and legal publishing. I am a student member of STEP (three exams down, one to go.) and a member of STEP's Mental Capacity Special Interest Group. At work I am a member of the Entertainments Committee, the Know How group and the Junior Fee Earners Committee. In my spare time I enjoy singing in a local choir, life drawing, tap dancing, Zumba and my cat.
