Julie Burton
Consultant
Julie is a deputy and professional trustee in our Court of Protection team. She acts as a professional deputy for many clients, both children and adults, with complex brain injuries arising from a personal injury, where there is a substantial compensation award.
She also acts as professional trustee in many high value personal injury trusts, again for both children and adults. She is an experienced private client practitioner with a trust background and also advises in Wills and estate planning, particularly where there is a vulnerable or incapacitated beneficiary involved.
I work with clients and their families to provide clear, practical advice in complex situations. Whether acting as a deputy or trustee, my focus is on safeguarding assets and ensuring long-term security, while delivering a responsive and supportive service tailored to individual needs.
She both creates and sets up complex trusts with Court approval and she, with her team, managed both trusts and deputyships where Julie is the nominated professional or through PennTrust, who are also Court of Protection panel deputies.
Julie joined Penningtons Manches Cooper in 2003, she is a member of STEP and Solicitors for the Elderly. She is a recognised leader in the field by both Chambers Guide to the UK Legal and Professional and the Legal 500.
