Purely Probate is a thriving private client solicitors firm founded in Somerset in 2011.
This role can be based in either our Yeovil, or Taunton office. Join us and be part of a forward-thinking Somerset law firm with a reputation for being a fantastic workplace.
ABOUT US:
Purely Probate specialises in Wills, Probate, and related legal services. As part of our team, you’ll contribute to our mission of providing top-notch service while enjoying a modern and friendly work environment.

The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate excellent communication, networking and client facing skills. Alongside an enviable experience of dealing with both day to day and complex cases including Wills and LPAs, both taxable and non-taxable Estates.
