Recent probate settlement
Last year I was involved in a probate settlement with my brother that had stalled with legal representation. I contacted Hart Reade in Eastbourne and after a meeting with Sebastian he quickly assessed the situation and set a plan to work towards resolution. I then continued to deal with Coral who organised the conveyancing for our property. Everything was quickly and efficiently handled. A job well done!
