Sarah Ayliffe

Head of Wills and Probate and Associate Director

I joined Oliver & Co in 2017 and have over nine years of experience in the legal industry, with six years as a qualified Solicitor specialising in Wills and Probate. I became Head of the Wills and Probate Department in July 2021. Whether you need to draft a simple Will, administer a loved one’s estate, or create a Power of Attorney, I provide a personal, comprehensive and professional service.

I originally studied law at Keele University, and then completed my Legal Practice Course (LPC) at the University of Chester.

I am a member of SFE (Solicitors for the Elderly) which means I specialise in older client law. I have specialist client care skills which enable me to advise and support older and vulnerable clients.

I pride myself on helping clients create some of the most important documents they will ever sign. Importantly, I know that, unlike a DIY or unregulated Will writing service, I leave my clients reassured that their documents are valid and written to an excellent standard.

My team and I have built an excellent reputation for the Wills and Probate department, which is reflected in our online reviews. You can read these by clicking here.

Excellent service and efficiency from Sarah and the Wills & Probate Team at Oliver & Co. From the initial face to face meeting through to regular progress updates, the service was exemplary at very difficult time personally. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommended their services.

Sarah was very helpful in arranging our joint wills for us. She mentioned things that hadn’t occurred to us, but upon thought really wanted to include, so we are very grateful for her knowledge. She was very personable and we felt we were in great hands.
