Wonderful service
I couldn't ask for a better service for completing my Will. Laura visited me at home and took her time speaking with me to take my instructions. I have dealt with other solicitors before but Laura was so compassionate about my situation and was a pleasure to deal with. Thank you for being wonderful.

Outstanding service and advice
I was pleased to have been recommended to Laura at Rudlings by my accountant and thank goodness I was! Laura was able to guide me through the entire process of my Will and wider estate planning for IHT. She also advised me in connection with my father's probate.
Laura was clearly very knowledgeable yet was able to explain things to me in a clear and concise manner. Her personable approach and enthusiasm for her job and client service shone through.
I have expressed my sincerest thanks to her personally.

Termination of Trust
Rudlings LLP was recommended to me by Whitings LLP to undertake the legal work of terminating a Trust and to coordinate with the assignment of the assets by an independent financial advisor. Laura Ruffell replied to my enquiry promptly and arranged a zoom meeting. I was completely confident that Laura had listened to me and understood what I was hoping to achieve. She explained the necessary process clearly and gave me opportunity to ask questions. The communication which followed was unfussy, clear and prompt. She dealt with graciously and professionally with a lack of understanding on the part of the IFA.

First rate solicitors
I contacted Rudlings for advice regarding Probate Services. From my very first telephone conversation, and throughout the business conducted, I was treated with respect and professionalism.
Timelines and follow up emails were prompt and "as promised". I cannot fault the service I received. I would have no hesitation in recommending Rudlings, and will be using their services again later in 2025 for will writing services.
An excellent company and a credit to the legal profession.
