Penny Elliott
Spear’s Review
A seasoned solicitor with more than 30 years’ experience, Forsters’ Penny Elliott works on high-value rural estate sales and purchases, with clients ranging from aristocratic families to those who have made fortunes in property-owning businesses. ‘The fundamental issues are the same: how best to control, manage and enjoy a landed estate as it passes down the generations,’ she told Spear’s.
Her clients’ primary focus is ‘to identify the most appropriate steward of the estate, address the provision for family members and create flexible structures for holding assets’, she said. ‘This new generation of owners and heirs understands that owning a landed estate does not give a sense of entitlement or a position in society any more. The real pleasure is that they are not resentful of that — they are highly entrepreneurial.’
