New Will
Rebecca was extremely helpful and patient. I never needed to chase her up as she replied to and acknowledged all communication from me on the same day as received.
I found Rebecca both friendly and knowledgeable.

LPOA
I have recently used McCarthy Webb to administer my LPOA and Rebecca is so professional in her work and giving lots of good advise that I had not thought off. Very quick and reliable and felt at ease with her when an appointment had been arranged. I would recommend by friends to your company.

Probate
As I live in Suffolk I have never been met anyone at McCarthy’s. However, I have found the experience to be very easy to deal with via email etc. Further, Rebecca has been both helpful and professional in dealing with Dad’s estate. This has made the process so much better at such a difficult and emotional time. Couldn’t ask for more.
