Recent Work

  • Complex Property Sale with Lost Title Deeds – Nigel has been advising on the sale of a substantial country property where the original title deeds had been missing for over 40 years. The matter involved reconstructing legal ownership through an equitable trust with multiple beneficiaries. His deep expertise across property, trust, and probate law was instrumental in resolving the layered legal challenges and securing a successful outcome.
  • Cross-Border Curatorship in France – Nigel was acting for a vulnerable client residing in France, where he has been appointed as Co-Curatelle (co-guardian). This role has required extensive liaison with French legal and administrative authorities to manage the client’s affairs, demonstrating his ability to navigate international legal frameworks with sensitivity and precision.
Nigel’s Dinner Guest Would Be:

Barry Humphries

Barry created two iconic characters in Dame Edna Everidge and Sir Les Patterson. A quiet-spoken man in life, his characters could fill a room with their subversive and at times poignant wit.  I saw him live once and he told one of my all-time favourite jokes, which sadly can’t be repeated in polite conversation and also a tale about avaricious relatives. The tale ended with an elderly lady being taken away in the ambulance and the ambulance almost crashing into the estate agent’s van coming to put up a for sale sign outside her house.

  • Exceptional Service

    Nigel, Manroop and Team are exceptional in their diligence and dedication to estate matters in the UK. I would recommend Garner & Hancock solicitors as an establishment to anyone needing utmost attention and care. They don’t cut corners and respect compliance with regulations whilst serving the interests of their customers. Great team to engage for peace of mind.
    Absolutely phenomenal in their conduct and overall execution of assignment. I have enjoyed partnering with Nigel and Manroop. Excellent service from the team at Garner & Hancock who dealt with my late Aunt’s estate for me. This took three years to complete as it was, from my point of view, a very complicated affair. From the initial phone call from Jakub Kotan advising me that I was the beneficiary of this estate, to the final recent email, I found the team to be very professional, but also approachable. Garner & Hancock took all the worry off my shoulders, as I had no idea where to start if I had tried sorting this out on my own!
