Email Kathryn Hughes
I grew up in Lancashire and studied law at Bristol University. After graduating I stayed in Bristol to complete my training at the large city firm, Osborne Clarke. I then specialised in matrimonial law practising in Somerset, before giving in to the desire to return to “the north” and settling in Kendal.
Once I had a family of my own I moved into specialising in wills, probate, Court of Protection and all aspects of work in relation to the elderly. I practised in several firms in the South Lakes area before joining Thompson Wilson Pattinson in 2002. I am a member of STEP (the Society of Trusts and Estate Practitioners).
In addition to having a busy family life I enjoy swimming, walking, yoga and reading.
“ Earlier in the year Kathryn Hughes dealt with the estate paperwork following the death of my mother. Stephen Greenwood recently dealt with the sale of my parents' house. On both occasions the service my family received was friendly and professional. ”
“ The help and guidance I have received following the very sudden death of my husband has been outstanding, helping me to understand and explaining every element in detail. Also the understanding of the pain I have been going through. A huge thank you. ”

“ Conducted in a pleasant and informal manner, all my queries promptly answered - the whole matter was dealt with in a professional and efficient manner. ”
“ Despite the fact that we were unable to deal with you physically, because of the distance between the two parties, we felt that we were kept involved at every stage, and the service we received was high quality and you cared. Thank you. ”

“ All the staff in the office were kind and efficient in leading me through a particularly difficult time following the death of my husband.

Thank you both. ”
