Administration of my Father's Estate
I would like to thank Anna O'Mara for all her help and being our main contact in administering and distributing my Dad's estate. I would also like to thank the Executors Andrew Durkan & Richard Bussell for their professional advice too.
Anna has become our family's solicitor in all our inheritance planning and has provided help with Will writing, setting up Powers of Attorney and has dealt with the distribution of two of my family member's estates. She is approachable, has a great knowledge of her subject, is conscientious and keeps you informed throughout the process and responds to all queries quickly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Anna to anyone requiring this service.
