Alan Cowgill
Qualifying in 1984, I have been at Godwins for over 38 years, as a senior partner from 2006 – 2015. I specialise in Wills, probate, trust, tax planning and the affairs of the elderly and help to make sense of matters that can often seem complicated. With a background in farming, I enjoy advising rural clients on various matters, including passing on the family farm and have fostered relationships over the years with generations from the same families. I have an excellent professional network in the Winchester area and am often recommended by my peers, particularly where there are conflicts within families.
