At Viva Planning, we work closely with Fidelis Legal Services, a respected firm that assists many of our clients in setting up protective trusts as part of their estate planning.
We’re pleased to share that Helen Claydon, Director and Chief Legal Officer at Fidelis Legal Services, has been Highly Commended in the Probate Lawyer of the Year category at the 2025 Probate Industry Awards—also known as “The Probies.”
This recognition follows Helen’s recent success at the British Conveyancing Awards, where she was named Outstanding Business Leader of the Year. These awards reflect her commitment to legal excellence and the high standards upheld by Fidelis.
At Viva Planning, we’re selective about who we partner with. We choose firms like Fidelis because they bring expertise, integrity, and proven results to the clients we serve. Congratulations to Helen on this well-deserved achievement.
