Handled with care

5

Through such a difficult time for myself and family members, I cannot thank Jane and the team at Johnson Astills Solicitors enough for the care and attention they provided this year.
With excellent communication, everything was explained every step of the way.
I would not hesitate to recommend Jane Hinds should anybody need support through Probate.

COP Deputyship Application

5

The application experience was superb throughout. Every stage was dealt with efficiently . As there was some urgency to get it in place every effort was made to speed up the process and this was much appreciated. Communication has been excellent and explanations readily given especially with regard to the responsibilities and duties of Deputies and having good knowledge of the requirements of The Mental Health Act. Jane has been a pleasure to deal with, always available for advice, amiable and professional through the whole process and the family are very grateful for her
assistance in this matter. I would recommend her firm to anyone needing professional advice.

Making a new Will

5

I was recommended by my accountants. Jane Hinds took the time to understand my family with regard to making a new Will. Various suggestions were made most of which I took on board. It was all dealt with quickly and efficiently.

Cope Family

5

From initial contact through to completion all exchanges were dealt with quickly. Every process was explained and due to living in a different part of the country and abroad, family members did not have to travel to Johnson Astills offices, which was exceptionally helpful.
Johnson Astills Solicitors were recommended to us and I am so glad we went with the recommendation as all team members helped and guided us through a very difficult time.

Probate and Will writing service

5

We would highly recommend Jane and her team, having had to use their services for probate twice within a year. Everything was explained at the outset, including the costings and was handled in a professional and efficient manner. We found them to be friendly and approachable and their kind help eased a very difficult time for us.

Kindness

5

We recently asked Jane to create our wills. This is something that can bring all sorts of emotions to the surface and can feel a bit daunting. Jane took the time to talk us through the sometimes complicated wording, and ensured our wills said exactly what we wanted them to. She talked us through all the possible eventualities with kindness, patience and understanding, and we always felt that our queries were valued and never trivialised. Often we talk about services in terms of efficiency and speed, but more than that, Jane's kindness and patience was so appreciated.
Ruth, Jane's paralegal is a little ray of sunshine - thank you both for making something that was at times emotional, a positive experience.

Mum’s Probate

5

We contacted Johnson Astills to deal with our mum’s estate. It was the best decision we could have made. At what is a very difficult time it was good to get professional help to deal with matters regarding probate when we were only concerned with dealing with our loss.
We cannot fault the service and advice given and would thoroughly recommend Johnson Astills and we are now dealing with their Property Team as well. A special thanks to Jane Hinds and Kate Pettit who we’re a pleasure to deal with.
