Updating of my Will
The firm made checks to confirm my identity first and then gave me a firm appointment for a meeting to discuss how to progress my needs for revision of my Will. The advice I was given, both at that meeting and subsequently once the draft revision was provided, was both clear and informative. The finished document covered all the key issues I had wanted to address and the use of side letters to relay requirements to my executors on matters that may prove more flexible over time was very helpful. Sumaiya was clear and professional throughout and was very easy to work with. I am very happy with the finished document. Thank you very much for steering me through the issues i had wanted to address.

Estate of Robert Parker
My brother died unexpectedly in October 2022 in Colchester, UK. I am my brother’s full-blooded sister, and I live in Australia. My brother and I have three half-sisters. Our next nearest surviving relatives are our paternal cousins. Our family was very disorganised with dealing with our brother’s demise. I knew we needed to call in some help, as it is crazy to try and administer a deceased estate across the globe. My youngest half-sister, Bree, helped me to find you. We approached many solicitors in and around Colchester first, but none of them even returned our calls. Finally, Bree looked closer to where she lives. And you were very responsive. That was a huge tick in your favour! Two things clinched it for me. Firstly, it was the owls on your web-site. (I collect owls!) And secondly - your surname, Sumaiya, is the same surname, and spelling, as a very dear friend of mine. Coincidence I know, but there you have it! I feel our whole family lucked out finding you. It has been such a relief to have your professionalism guiding us through the process, and taking care of everything so well. But also explaining the process as we went along. That meant a lot to me. It also helped the flow of communications in our family. So really I can’t thank you enough. The rest is all on file and in our email correspondence, which was always clear concise and friendly. Not to mention astoundingly prompt. Thank you!

Trusts
It was a pleasure working with Sumaiya Smyth who showed a friendly professional efficiency in all matters. There were some problems dealing with a government department but Sumaiya was tenacious and made sure all ended as we wished. Would have no hesitation in recommending Hepburn Delaney Ltd and will use them again for any future legal matters.

Excellent service
From the very first meeting with Sumaiya we felt confident she was going to deliver everything we required and we were correct. After explaining clearly and in detail, each follow up contact she promised was delivered as specified and at no time did we have to chase her. We couldn't recommend Sumaiya highly enough - wonderful service. Thank you.

Managing Grant of Probate
I have been extremely impressed by the way that Sumaiya and her colleagues managed the Grant of Probate process for me. I had no idea what to do but Sumaiya explained things to me very clearly, was very sympathetic and and kept me informed throughout. She was also incredibly responsive in dealing with any of my queries. I cannot recommend her and her team highly enough. Thanks very much!

Excellent Service & Patience
Sumaiya was excellent throughout our dealings with her, being both extremely knowledgeable and professional.
Above all, she was very patient and accommodating in setting up our Wills & LPA's as they were often not top of our priority list and we were very slow to complete our action.
Couldn't recommend them highly enough.
