Our People – Arthur Raymond

Gary Forster

Gary has been involved with estate planning for four decades and has handled the financial affairs of both very wealthy individuals with very complex estates, as well as clients with more modest wealth.

Gary’s view is that it does not matter whether you have £100 million or £100 thousand. Ensure your wealth goes is allocated where you wish when you die.

“Sadly, the majority of IHT payments today are not so much by the wealthy but by ordinary folk”

Steve Hunt

Like Gary, Steve has been involved with estate planning in one guise or another for over 40 years. He has been a trustee for major UK pension schemes including the distribution of trust assets.

Steve is also a Chartered Insurance Risk Manager and has been helping individuals from FTSE100 directors to shop floor workers with pensions, tax and estate management for over four decades.

Steve, as is Gary, is also a regulated financial advisor with the Financial Conduct Authority.

Emma Guilfoyle-Carey

Emma is a qualified solicitor: this was achieved in the Republic of Ireland in 1998 She then further qualified to practice as a solicitor in 1999 under the qualified lawyers transfer scheme. She is therefore dually qualified to practice in England, Wales and Ireland.

Since moving to England in 1999, Emma has worked initially in Birmingham at McGrath & Co. Solicitors, where she worked in civil litigation. She later became an associate solicitor and head of the Human Rights department.

Emma then moved to Bedworth in Warwickshire with her husband and young children taking a career break to look after her children.

Emma later entered a legal partnership called Antony Baker Carey; a general practice dealing with all types of legal matters, including private client work, conveyancing, family law, employment law and contracts. The practice moved to Birmingham, and Emma decided to remain in Bedworth under the trading name of POA Wills, offering a personal affordable legal service to locals, making their Wills, Trusts and Powers of Attorney.
Emma was given an opportunity to work with the legal department at a local Council in 2019. This work involves conveyancing, contracts, litigation and the provision of many aspects of legal advice to the Council.

“Regardless of who I am advising, I always aim to provide the best possible advice depending on the circumstances and love to feel that my legal help has given a client peace of mind that their future has been planned for in the best way.”
