The Everest Estate Planning Team
The Everest Estate Planning Team comprises of two people and a reassuring amount of experience in Estate Planning and organisation.
Background and Passion
Mark Everest is not your ordinary estate planning advisor. With a distinguished career as a retired police officer, Mark brings a unique blend of dedication, insight, and a deep-rooted love for the law to the world of estate planning. His approach is driven by a genuine desire to empower individuals, using his extensive legal knowledge to address and resolve the challenges his clients face. Mark’s commitment to helping others navigate the complexities of estate law ensures that every client receives a personalised and effective estate planning experience.
A Family-Driven Team
At the core of Mark’s practice is a strong partnership with his wife, Susan Everest. With nearly 30 years of marriage and a wealth of experience in administration, Susan’s expertise is invaluable in assisting clients with their estate planning needs. Together, they form a dynamic duo, ensuring that each client’s arrangements are meticulously planned and executed with the utmost care. Their collaborative approach guarantees that clients can move forward with confidence, knowing their wishes will be honoured and their loved ones well cared for, regardless of future uncertainties.
Interests Beyond Estate Planning
When he steps away from his estate planning duties, Mark enjoys a rich and fulfilling personal life. He is a devoted husband and father to two grown daughters, cherishing the time spent with his family. Mark’s love for cricket is profound; whether he’s playing, serving as an ECB qualified umpire, or leading his walking cricket team, his enthusiasm for the sport is unmistakable. Travel also holds a special place in Mark’s heart. Alongside Susan, he relishes holidays abroad, seeking out new adventures that combine relaxation on sunny beaches and snorkelling with exploring local cultures and cuisines.

A Process To Ensure Peace Of Mind
FREE Consultations
Many legal services require paid for meetings. Mark Everest believes that knowledge is power and that the client should be empowered to make an informed decision. As such, consultations with him are FREE and used as a mixture of a fact finding mission to then offer appropriate advice and guidance.
Competitive Pricing
Large companies have large overheads. The bespoke and family run service offered by Everest Estate Planning leads to competitive pricing with no loss of service or quality. Consider it the same great service without the same hole in your wallet or purse.
No Upfront Fees
With the introduction of the internet, consumers have found that services are either a subscription or must be paid for, in full, upfront. This is not how Mark Everest operates. People are more savvy than ever and gaining someone's trust is harder to achieve. As such, fees will be discussed and agreed before work commences BUT will not be due until you have the documents in your hands or when they are ready to be posted. The latter would be appropriate for certain trusts or Lasting Power of Attorney, for example.
Easy To Follow Directives
Following and filling out paperwork can be a confusing and labour intensive task. This is why you may turn to a service like ours to help you navigate the process. The documents will need your input and signature when they are ready to be used or sent to the relevant places. Our documents are prepared to make this process as easy as possible, we are regularly receiving comments on how smooth the process is.
Aftercare Support and Advice
Once a client, always a client. Everest Estate Planning strives to perform work that builds a relationship that lasts. You may come to us for Wills and Lasting Powers Of Attorney and then come back again. Maybe life has gone well and a Family Trust or Wealth Management is needed. We hope to be with you for the long haul to offer support, advice and services should you need them.
