Excellent Service - Caring, compassionate and incredibly helpful
As a family, following a recent health scare, we realised that we should really make plans for the future to provide as much protection and control over family assets and health as possible, but didn’t know where to even start. We had an initial meeting with Gemma who explained the value in creating a family trust and ensuring that powers of attorney are in place for both health and finance. We didn’t really know about any of these things beforehand, and it is obviously quite a sensitive and emotional subject to be dealing with, making plans for end of life/potential for serious illness in future, but also talking about finances in the same conversation. Gemma made the whole process incredibly easy, was really comforting/understanding of both the situation, but also the mixed emotions of trying to do the right thing, but also trying to protect finances/property, when in reality, health is of course the most important thing. As a family we would highly recommend Gemma and the team at Cygnet Law. They’ve explained everything to us, the positives and the negatives with all options, made the process really simple and ultimately have left us feeling a great peace of mind that our family affairs are all in order, and in the event of a serious illness or even death, that we have all the necessary legal protections/documents in place to make what will be an incredibly tough period just that bit easier by removing/reducing administrative burden and protecting the families interests.

Very Professional Company
Myself and my wife have recently made joint wills and power of attorneys with the help of Cygnet Law, we dealt with Gemma Brooke who was very informative about things we wouldn't have thought about, from start to finish we where kept informed about the process right up to finalisation of the power of attorneys. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to go through this process it was made very easy for us by Gemma who was really professional and approachable answering many questions we had and made what we thought was going to be an awkward and difficult process very easy for us with no stress whatsoever.

Wills and Power of Attorney
I had met Gemma Brooke from Cygnet many years previously networking. Cygnet were recommended by my financial adviser and it was only then I remembered her. Brilliant service, professional and friendly and value for money. I had to change my will but this was not an issue and Gemma and her colleague Steph visited me at home so this was so much nicer moreso if you are upset at least you are in the privacy of your own home. Would recommend them unconditionally.
