Harriet Page

I have a dual practice advising high-net-worth individuals, landed estates and charities, with particular expertise in succession planning, trusts, Court of Protection gifting applications, philanthropy and charity governance.

I take a holistic approach to advising individuals, considering family circumstances alongside wider financial objectives. I advise on a wide variety of complex succession matters, estate administration, tax planning and trust structures. My work is defined by technical precision, empathy and cross-sector insight.

I lead Cripps’ charity sector, which was re-established in 2025 to bring together the firm’s extensive expertise in advising charities and not-for-profit organisations. The sector also supports individuals and families looking to further their philanthropic goals, reflecting the breadth and depth of our work in this area.

I was awarded Gold in the “Inspirational Individual of the Year” category at the Citywealth Future Leaders Awards 2025 and was named a 2025 NextGen Leader by eprivateclient. Outside work, I chair the board of trustees of a charity I founded in 2019
