Joseph Austin
Spear’s Review
A legal director and head of probate at Kingsley Napley, Joseph Austin specialises in complex probate matters that have a contentious or multi-jurisdictional element. He advises clients on lifetime and estate tax planning, wills and trusts, and acts for executors, administrators, trustees and individuals seeking to plan their lifetime affairs.
A fluent French speaker, Austin is a senior member of the firm’s cross-practice Anglo-French service, which works closely with French lawyers to advise individuals with French assets and connections on preparing wills in the UK – among other related matters.
He is a member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners and the Association of Trust and Contentious Probate Solicitors.
