Superb service
My sister and I recently engaged Parker Bullen to support in the probate application for our father’s estate. I have to say that I have so impressed from start to finish with the service we received from Gareth and Jo. They were professional, attentive and explain everything in a clear and understandable way. We have been thoroughly impressed by them, and would recommend them to others.

Excellent service
We used Gareth and Jo from Parker Bullen for our Wills after receiving a recommendation from a friend. Great service, very clear instructions, understanding our needs, explaining things so we can easily understand and gave some great advice along the way.
I was expecting this to be a painful service but it was easy. Highly recommended.

A truly professional service with a personal touch
The responsibility of being an executor for someone you hold in the highest regard is a daunting prospect. Having a trusted sibling by your side helps but even with the simplest of wills, the process is a legal quagmire.
That is where Gareth and Jo came in. What my brother and I were most impressed with was their professional integrity. They empowered us to do as much as we could and enabled us to understand the legal framework by explaining all the terminology in language we could understand.
Face to face communication for us, is always our first choice but in a pandemic, this option was taken away from us but both Gareth and Jo navigated us through it superbly.
I would highly recommend this team to anyone with the reassurance you will be treated fairly and with the upmost respect.
