Acting as executors
The way that Wollens dealt with my Late Father's will and estate was excellent. They dealt with everything right down to the selling of the property. I found Liz Crawford easy to speak to and nothing was too much trouble. The same goes for the rest of the team.

Excellent all round service
Hi, I just wanted to leave a short review. We have used Wollens for the sale of my mums house and to help with the Probate on her estate and they have been superb every step of the process.

Probate/Property sale
Process made easy following death of my relative. Would recommend using Wollens to friends and relatives. The process was explained to me in a way I clearly understood what was being done. I used Solicitor Liz for Probate and Conveyancing office for sale of property.

Estate of Mrs I Denton
Living as we do in another part of the country, it was
very important for us to have the fullest confidence in
the people handling the work on our behalf.
Liz and her team did that and more, we were always
kept in the picture and informed of every important
development as it occurred.
We could not have asked for a better and least stressful
outcome and will always be grateful to Liz and her team.

My experience of your Company over 16 years.
I used your company in 2007 when we met with Shirley Tull at your office in Newton Abbot. Since this time we (my partner and I) have used no other.
Since this time we have 'A' amended our Wills a number of times, 'B' faced a stressful neighbour dispute 'C' Set up Lasting Power of Attorneys, 'D' Estate of a dear friend and partner. All this time we have valued the support, guidance and skills of your Solicitors.
