Jenni Stevens
Estate Administration Manager
Areas of Law
After attending Kelvin Grove College of Advanced Education as it was known then and coming to the realisation that teaching was not for me, I commenced working in a local legal office. I have worked in legal offices ever since, my experience spanning many different areas of law including family, criminal, litigation, commercial, shipping, and conveyancing, and even a stint as an emergency fill-in bookkeeper for 6 months while a co-worker recovered from illness. I now work exclusively in deceased estate administration where my passion lies. I have worked in large firms but mostly smaller suburban firms and was fortunate to be mentored from a young age by wonderfully learned and talented professionals.
I assist clients, usually, Executors, navigate the administration of the estate of a deceased person and for most clients, this involves the death of a close loved one. My great satisfaction is helping people at an extremely emotional time in their lives. I recognise that the estate administration process can seem overwhelming and confusing. I often hear from my clients “I just can’t do this – it’s just too hard” and seeing their relief when I tell them that we will work through the process together. I believe that my role is to keep the process as simple and streamlined as possible while remaining accessible and keeping the lines of communication open. I also liaise with our estate litigation department if the matter escalates into a dispute.
I know it is cliché but the best part of my job is helping people in their time of need when they are experiencing feelings of loss, sadness and confusion. I am always gratified to receive expressions of appreciation from my clients and hearing that they intend to refer family and friends.
I am have been married to a wonderful man for many years. Outside of work I assist my husband run our business, enjoy sewing, cooking, kayaking, and the company of family and friends.
