Hannah Durston

I completed a BSc in Psychology at the University of Southampton before going on to complete my Graduate Diploma in Law at Kingston University and my Legal Practice Course at The College of Law, Guildford. I then joined Whitehead Monckton as a trainee solicitor in September 2009.

I qualified as a Solicitor in September 2011 and until April 2013 was based in the Maidstone office before moving to the firm’s Canterbury office when it opened in 2013.  I became a Senior Solicitor in September 2015, an Associate Solicitor in April 2016, an Associate Director in April 2020 and became a Consultant Solicitor in October 2021.  Since then I have moved to remote working.

I have expertise in:

• Wills
• Tax planning and succession advice
• Lasting powers of attorney
• Court of protection matters including deputyship and statutory will applications
• Estate administration
• Trust creation and administration

I have been a fully qualified STEP member since November 2018 and am a full accredited member of association of lifetime lawyers.

I like to get outside as much as possible, be it playing hockey in the winter months or walking/running/cycling/swimming when it’s a little warmer.  I enjoy spending time with my family and, when time allows, I like to travel.
