Personal Affairs

We act for a large number of individuals and families both locally in the North East and nationally, helping them to deal with their legal affairs.  This ranges from drawing up wills and the purchase of homes to advising on difficult family, property and tax issues.

For many, visiting a solicitor can be a daunting experience and our friendly and professional team are keen to minimise any concerns our clients may have.

We believe in straightforward and clear advice. Our aim is to help you achieve what you wish to do in the most timely, simple and understandable way possible.

Our team is recommended by the leading legal directories.  The Legal 500 Guide 2024 surveyed hundreds of clients and found our team to be “approachable and easy to communicate with” and noted: “Gibson & Co Solicitors Ltd acted for the executors of an estate including the termination of a life interest trust and dealing with the free estate valued in excess of £7m.”

The Chambers & Partners Guide ranks the team and quotes one of our clients saying: “They’re excellent, very helpful and supportive.”
