Rizzwana BashirSenior Solicitor

During her time in the department, she has managed a varied caseload, including sales and purchases of freehold, leasehold, new build, shared ownership, right to buy, unregistered titles, equity releases, re-mortgages and transfers of equity. She understands that property transactions can be extremely stressful, and it is therefore imperative that clients receive the very best service. She will always go above and beyond to ensure her clients achieve their desired outcome in the most methodical and stress-free manner. She is known for her hands-on approach and “can do” attitude. Her clients would describe her as personable, approachable and down to earth.

More recently, Rizzwana has decided to move to the firms growing Commercial Property department, whilst still working on a small number of Residential Property matters. Rizzwana has a real interest in all different aspects of commercial property, including landlord and tenant, farming and agricultural, acquisitions and disposals of freehold and leasehold interests, business sales and acquisitions, commercial leases, secured lending and property development. She is working under the supervision of 2 senior colleagues in the department, Craig Williams and Allan Stewart to further develop her understanding and knowledge in this area.

One of the most satisfying parts of Rizzwana’s role, irrespective of the department, is helping her clients to achieve their desired outcome in the least stressful way and to see them succeed.

Helping the community is very important to Rizzwana. Over the years she has participated and supported, a number of local and national charities by raising money and taking part in a Skydive, walking on hot coal, completing 5k colour runs, wrapping presents for children’s wards and organising children’s parties.

In her spare time, she is a freelance make-up artist and a keen baker. She enjoys art and being creative. She enjoys meeting new clients, socialising with her friends and keeping fit

What Is an Executor of a Will?

When someone dies, everything they own - known as their estate - must be carefully managed and distributed in accordance with their wishes as set out in their will. This process involves not only passing assets to the chosen beneficiaries but also handling debts, taxes and legal formalities along the way. For many, this can be a daunting and emotional task, especially during a time of grief.

What Happens When Personal Representatives Fail to Communicate With Beneficiaries?

When a person dies, their estate will be administered by a person or persons named as ‘executors’ in their will, or, in cases where they did not leave one, by anyone who has the highest standing to do so (which largely matches the rules of who benefits under a so-called intestacy). These individuals are also called personal representatives (PRs).
