Handling of our family Wills

The procedure of making the Wills was more involved than we expected. But grateful that the Wills are now completed.

I have used Geoffrey Leaver Solicitors at least four times for different matters in the past, and always been happy with the completeness and conclusion of each especially with resolving a family dispute firmly to an amicable close. I would recommend the whole firm highly.
