Acting as executor on my behalf in the case of the estate of R.A. Kite

5

This is a copy of what I have just written to Paul at the conclusion of the work he has done for me:
"I am so, so grateful for all the support you have given me in steering this whole legacy through over the last three years and more. When you told me originally that it could take up to eighteen months to complete my aunt's affairs I found that incredible. Despite your best efforts, now here we are more than three years after her death.....!! It has been such a tortuous path, especially with the enormous difficulty of selling her apartment in Gravesend, and you have gone to so much trouble to help me understand [or try to understand!] each twist and turn, always so graciously and with constant kindness. I genuinely can't thank you enough."

P.S. Please note that where I have omitted to answer "value for money" and "documentation accuracy" it is not a criticism - I simply have no other previous experience and did not approach any other solicitors by which to judge

A positive experience

5

In anticipation,a session with the Solicitors can be intimidating. I can quite honestly say that it was both educational and pleasant. I think that Mr Rothwells manner enables one to provide sometimes difficult and private family dynamics necessary to formulate the documentation in question, without feeling exposed or challenged. I appreciated the fact that if there wasn't always a fully satisfactory answer he didn't pretnd that there was one.He gave me the impression that he was looking at ones situation as if it were his own and giving advice on that basis. His manner is both professional and reassuring.

My wife and I were both very impressed and pleased with the service we received with the advice on updating and amending our will to reflect our changed family circumstances and with the speedy and cost-effective responses and outcome for the redrafting of our wills and preparation of lasting powers of attorney. The advice we received was knowledgeable and well communicated.

Thank you to Mr Paul Rothwell for the great job he did helping us write our wills. He made the whole process easy, and he made everything crystal clear to us, from start to finish. We were very happy with the most professional way he handled everything for us. 10 out of 10.

Personal Service in making our Wills

5

We recently engaged Paul Rothwell to review and update our Wills. He undertook a through review of our circumstances before suggesting how our Wills could be structured. What pleased my wife and I was his calm, professional approach and a willingness to listen to what we wanted to achieve. Paul is not only a top quality solictor, but also someone who puts 'people' at the centre of his thinking. He will always be our first port of call for legal advice.

My wife and I had our wills drawn up for a second time (updated) by Paul Rothwell. Paul's expertise and knowledge on listening to and creating a will that perfectly meets your needs is professional and, in a world where quality of service is often thwarted at the expense of dealing with a volume of business, Martin Tolhurst Longfield still offer that good old fashioned quality of service that will always stand the test of time. Thank you once again Paul.
