Joint Wills.
We moved our wills and executorship from a large solicitor firm. We were very impressed by Laura's responsive and personalised service. During the process there were various 'nuggets' that she helped unearth to assist with IHT and a future LPA. This was all done within the original cost envelope and went beyond our original expectations.

We will use again and would highly recommend.
Having used Thatcher + Hallam for our house moves in the past we had no hesitation in using another one of their lawyers to make our new Wills and Power of Attorneys. Laura made it so simple and gave us helpful advice that we had not thought of. The whole experience was dealt with professionally and very friendly. We would highly recommend Thatcher + Hallam and have no hesitation in using them again.
