Experience

Prior to joining Collas Crill in 2026, Emily previously worked at another offshore law firm where she specialised in estate administration, probate matters, administration orders, bonds and conveyancing.

Emily’s legal career began when she joined a conveyancing team straight after leaving full time education on island and has expanded her experience on the job since, whilst also studying for and completing a law degree.

"I am known to take a calm and pragmatic approach to problem solving, which enables me to achieve the required outcomes for my clients."

Expertise

Managing wealth, asset preservation, planning for succession and inheritance, and writing wills can be a complex and difficult experience. It's important to ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes and that your family and/or successors are taken care of.

There may be alternative ways that you wish to dispose of your estate, for charitable and philanthropic reasons or to look after those who are unable to care for themselves.

Whatever you choose, it is important to seek the right advice to ensure your wishes are preserved. At Collas Crill we have experts in a number of jurisdictions to assist with wills, succession planning, inheritance matters and probate.

When executors, family or friends of a deceased need to get access to assets held by their loved one, they may be asked to produce a document commonly referred to as a 'grant of probate'. A grant of probate means that an individual is given the right, by the relevant court, to deal with a deceased's estate. The deceased may have left a will or may have died intestate (without a will). It might be the case that probate has already been obtained in another jurisdiction and that a separate grant of probate needs to be obtained in Guernsey or Jersey. This can be an unfamiliar and stressful process. At Collas Crill we have many years' experience in making these types of applications. We are able to assist in simply obtaining the grant of probate, can arrange release and payment of the Channel Island assets to the relevant person, or deal with the full administration of an estate depending on your requirements.

With market-leading expertise in all forms of property law including residential, commercial and planning, we aim to go above and beyond expectations to provide clients with the best possible service.

Our friendly, experienced team is one of the largest in Guernsey and can help you with a range of property services, whether you're relocating to the Channel Islands, moving house on island, planning to develop your property or seeking other residential or commercial property advice.

We are ranked in the top tier of both the Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners directories.

Property law can be a complex, daunting and emotional experience for many individual buyers and sellers. Feeling an emotional tie to your new or prospective property, your 'home', is inevitable.

When buying or selling property you need a strong, dependable team that knows the market inside and out. We are one of the largest real estate teams in Guernsey and offer top-quality advice which anticipates the unique challenges and opportunities you are likely to face.

Communication and responsiveness is the key to a stress-free experience which is why we're always on hand to listen, offer assistance and pick up the phone to keep you informed at every stage of a transaction.
