Updating of Will
Hansells have been my solicitors for many years. Clare has been my contact over the past few years and understands the complexities that often occur with wills in 2nd marriages and the family history. Clare has always explained fully all the issues that might arise and been honest and professional with her advice.Clare responds promptly and I always feel that although she is a true professional she is also kind and understanding, that's not always an easy balance to have but she manages it well.All of the staff at my local office are welcoming. As I go forward with my new will I am confident that I have done my best for my family, that's down to Clare and the service she has provided.

We were very pleased with how it went and if we need to come back it would be a booking to you. I have also told the executors to book to see you if they needed to. I will always be pleased to recommend you and the company.
