The Estate of Joy Elizabeth Graham
I was guided through the process, was offered really good advice and kept up to date throughout. Essentially my partner passed away without leaving a will but left a letter of wishes which her next of kin decided not to adhere to. We are still addressing a couple of issues including transfer of a joint asset that is not resolved yet.

Dispute resolution
I found Higgs very professional, especially Georgia Stott and Joseph Martin who dealt with my case.
They were very clear in their advice and made the whole awful experience a little less stressful. They kept me informed every step of the way and their guidance has ended a horrible dispute in my favor.
I would highly recommend Higgs, and will use their services in the future should the need arise.

Estate of Sharon Jayne Hall , Kelvin Raybould, executor.
Although the issue on which I've sought council is as yet unresolved, so far I have no criticism whatsoever of Higgs handling of the matter. Their representative, Mr Joseph Martin has been personable, knowledgeable, mindful of costs. His measured judgement in fraught circumstances is exactly what's required.

Help with a long running dispute.
Three years ago our world fell apart when our youngest son committed suicide. This was the start of a very complex claim from his estranged wife and other parties who had also made claims on his estate.
Throughout the past three years we have always been given sound advise and kept informed of developments as we worked our way through all the problems that were thrown at us. As we near the end of this long running dispute we draw comfort from having sound advise and support during this very difficult period of our lives.
