Sarah started her conveyancing career in 1999 at a large Bradford firm as an input agent. She then moved to a large Leeds firm to work in their remortgage department, but quickly realised her skills were better suited to sales and purchases.

Sarah BrightSenior Licensed ConveyancerShe was later offered the opportunity to work for a small firm, still Leeds based, and developed a knowledge for different types of conveyancing matters, eg transfers of part, new builds and transfer of equity, before deciding to qualify through the CLC route.
Sarah started her CLC qualification in 2008, via distance learning, passing the first two modules, before continuing in 2009 at Bradford College, finally qualifying in 2012.
After the birth of her second child, Sarah took a job closer to home, helping her to develop good working relationships with local agents and solicitors, which in turn helps with achieving the end goal of completion for the clients.
Having recently joined Walker Foster, Sarah is really looking forward to using her strong local knowledge as well as the relationships she has built with clients over the years.
When not at work, Sarah loves nothing more than spending time with her young children, cooking and the great outdoors. She is a keen runner, being part of the Wharfedale running club and has completed two marathons.
Powers of Attorney (PoA) and Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA) provide peace of mind that, should you become unable to make decisions yourself, a trusted person you have chosen will act on your behalf. They will be able to manage your affairs in line with your wishes, ensuring important matters are handled with care and responsibility.
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.
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).
When a dispute arises between two parties, it’s not as simple as going straight to court. Before formal legal proceedings can begin, there are pre-action conduct requirements that must be followed.
