Excellent Service
Rebecca was so approachable, professional, knowledgeable and communicated so we could understand.
We were updated regularly and kept in the loop at every stage.
Hayley was also professional, a great help to us and extremely proactive.
I have already recommended you to my neighbours who wish to make wills.
Thank you for an excellent all round service and for ensuring everything ran smoothly, as well as, being stress free.

Professional and sensitive.
My experience of using McCarthy Webb was seamless and efficient. From my first phone call to Hayley, the receptionist, to the completion of my Will, I felt safe and comfortable. Rebecca Haywood was professional and courteous, but with an added kindness, gentleness and sensitivity which I appreciated. I was guided through the process with an expertise that I had not experienced before. Rebecca was open and honest and completely trustworthy. If you are thinking of making a Will, or wishing to amend or change your existing Will, I would look no further than using McCarthy Webb.

Exceptional Will preparation services
I recently had the pleasure of working with Rebecca to prepare my Will, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
She was always quick to respond to my inquiries, ensuring that I felt supported throughout the entire process. Whether it was via email or phone, she made herself available and was always ready to address any questions or concerns I had.
In addition to her responsiveness, Rebecca demonstrated sensitivity to my needs. Preparing a Will can be an emotional experience, and she approached the subject with care and compassion. She took the time to listen to my wishes and concerns, making sure that I felt comfortable and understood every step of the way.
Rebecca is incredibly knowledgable and provided valuable insights and guidance, helping me navigate legal terminology and concepts with ease. I felt confident that my Will was being prepared with attention to detail.
Overall, my experience with Rebecca was outstanding and I am incredibly grateful for her expertise and support. I would wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in need of Will preparation. Thank you, Rebecca for your exceptional service!

Conveyancing
Tina dealt with the sale of Dad’s bungalow. Rebecca dealt with the probate. I found everyone in both departments to be extremely helpful, clear in their instructions and very professional. As I live in Suffolk this was a great comfort to know it was in good hands.
