Will service excellent
We had Matthew set up our wills for us. We did this via an initial zoom meeting to introduce ourselves as we lived a little far from the office. Matthew was helpful, polite, informed and pleasant to speak with. The process was very smooth and any queries we had were answered straight away. We highly recommend Matthew at Rutters to offer you an easy procedure though their wills service. Thankyou Matthew!

Will writing
Matt couldn't do enough for us. A more complex need to include a discretionary trust fund to be put in place for our son with SEN.
Matt is extremely knowledgeable in this area and talked us through the whole process.

Easy and human!
After a turbulent time I had to rewrite my will,Matthew was really good,it was Covid time so on the phone,but he was so helpful,friendly and just human. He didn’t blind me with jargon and handled my distress very sensitively. Four years on and I needed to upgrade my will, this time I was back to being me and he was still human,and happy to help,explaining what I wanted to do was easy and all done efficiently. Would recommend.

Review of Will
It was suggested that I contact Matthew with regards to reviewing my will. I was very impressed with Matthew customer service, listening skills and advice.
I received a copy of my will and following Matthew's advice I check it and considered whether it ticked all my required boxes.
I decided to make adjustments, these were completed on my return visit to the office and I happily signed my updated will at the end of our meeting.
