9. Q. For the public point of view if we could have an overview of STEP so that they understand STEP.
A: (Andrew) Well I would say, going back to its origins the idea behind STEP was to provide a forum for lawyers, accountants and bank trust staff who all do basically similar types of work where they could get together and discuss. I think that at the time it was formed just over 16yrs ago there were forums where private client lawyers could talk to each other, and private client bankers and accountants all had their own associations, but we were all doing similar sorts of work but we weren’t talking to each other! So that’s where STEP started and we have developed into a body that seeks to support any specialist doing probate, trust and estate work and work with the related taxes.
