How Louise can help you
Louise spent several years working as a legacy officer for the palliative, neurological and bereavement support charity Sue Ryder, before moving to a law practice specialising in intestacy estate administration.
She has vast experience in supporting individuals and families to help settle the affairs of those who have passed away with or without a Will – and help them manage the distribution of all their assets, as well as advice concerning their pensions, debts and tax implications.
Through Rosedale Training, Louise has completed a training course on supporting those bereaved by suicide. She is also an FCILEx, and a full member of STEP.
Originally from Essex, Louise moved to Norwich to study law at undergraduate and postgraduate level at UEA, before completing her Legal Practice Course at the University of the West of England on a distance learning basis.
In October 2024, Louise was promoted to an Associate of the firm, taking on the role of joint deputy head of the Wills, Trusts & Probate department, before becoming head of department for our Norwich branch in September 2026.
Outside of work, Louise’s young son keeps her busy, but she is also a volunteer councillor for her local town council. Her interests include card-making and she has recently taught herself calligraphy to add to her crafting repertoire. Louise is also an avid reader and takes part in a monthly book club.

I wanted to get in touch, following the completion of matters in relation to my late mother's estate. This has been led by Louise Gibbs-Kneller and our experience with her has been absolutely first rate. Given the sensitive context and this period of bereavement for my sister, my wife and myself, I really have to say that Louise has been outstanding. Importantly this is both on the professional front, where her knowledge and responsiveness have given us full confidence throughout, but equally on the human side, with her empathic manner being invaluable as we navigated such a challenging journey.
