About Sangeeta Rabadia

Sangeeta advises individuals and families across generations on wealth, wills and succession planning, as well as disputes regarding trust and estate matters.
Her expertise includes the use of estate planning vehicles such as trusts and companies, in order to protect wealth from unexpected events such as incapacity and from claims from third parties, and to manage domestic and international tax concerns.
She also provides succession planning advice to families with businesses, land and property that they wish to pass through the family line, including specialist wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney.
Sangeeta has extensive experience in all types of estate dispute, including challenges to wills, challenging or removing executors, and claims for financial provision under the Inheritance Act.
She guides her clients through all stages of proceedings relating to trusts, from applications for directions relating to complex or ambiguous trust management to claims for breach of trust and for the removal of trustees. As a seasoned litigator, she actively assists clients to resolve matters before they become acrimonious.
Her expertise in private capital matters, combined with a background in property litigation, means she is well placed to advise on wealth planning and disputes, and in particular on estates that have property portfolios. In all matters, she is methodical and works with clients to present holistic solutions to their wealth planning needs.
In her (rare) spare time, Sangeeta is a Governor for an all-girls high school and is a director for a not-for-profit company tasked with the promotion of education in the wider community. She also uses her skills to undertake pro-bono work for many local charities.
