Thinking of studying probate law gaining CLC qualification and eventually getting a practitioner license to have my own business- am I dreaming?
I am 51, worked and still am working as commercial contracts manager, also managing bids and tenders for the majority of my career- I am looking for my exit strategy from corporate world and have been thinking of studying law for some time- I have BA in Business Administration
what are your thoughts on wills and probate practitioner?
TIA

I have no particular thoughts on probate - but are you clear on the route you’d take to become qualified? The options for legal training have changed so much recently - even as a former legal professional I can’t quite get my head around it all.

Yes, I have been exploring this for some time! CLC is the regulators for conveyancers and probate practitioners and they offer L4 and 6 qualifications and then apply for license or there is the CILEX route
