Jan Atkinson
After gaining valuable experience as a property lawyer in the City, Jan joined Osbornes in 1991, developing her interest in Wills, Estates and Trusts work and now specialises exclusively in this field. She heads up a 7 strong team at Osbornes and has a wealth and knowledge of experience in the private client field. Her main focus now is on wealth planning, high value estate administrations, international estates and contentious probate and trusts cases.
Jan is a registered Trust and Estate Practitioner (TEP) and a registered Contentious Trust and Probate Specialist (CTAPS). She is a well known figure in the private client field, in large part as a result of her active role on the Law Society Private Client Section Executive Committee and her membership of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) and the Association of Contentious Trust and Probate Specialists (ACTAPS). Jan writes regularly on Wills and Inheritance issues and is an occasional presenter on these and related subjects.
Her most rewarding cases involve intricate estate administrations, international probate work, successful Inheritance Act claims and resolving disputed Estates. She is regularly appointed by the Court as an independent administrator to resolve long running disputed estates and has a strong international practice.
Outside the office Jan spends much of her time riding her horse and playing tennis – she doesn’t like to lose!
