Power of Attorney
All the team were very caring and approachable at a time support was needed. We were taken through both the Health and Welfare and Property and Financial Affairs paperwork. This was done in a very structured and clear manner avoiding any ambiguity. Thank you so much for your patience and professional approach, it has been much appreciated.
