Professional Approach

Gotelee advised me of the process and fees before I instructed them. They were very professional and efficient in approach. I would happy do business with them again.

Will update at emotional time

5

It was a very distressing and difficult time in my life but Diane was professional and straight forward when dealing with my will. Whilst the meetings and contact were professional in nature, I always felt that my situation was being dealt with by someone who cared.

Giving me the confidence going forward

5

From the very start of my dealings with Diane and Gotelee felt safe and confident that I was being listened to and given the best advice for my circumstances. Everything was explained to me in a clear way that I understand and if I asked what may have seemed obvious questions, the answers were clear. Both Gotelee and particularly Diane Yarrow-Smith gave me confidence to deal with the future knowing that I can call on them if needed in the future.

Will amendment and Lasting power of attorney

5

Diane was fantastic, she explained everything in great detail but made it easy to understand. My Grandfather is 94 years of age and Diane ensured he understood things fully before moving on.
Overall a great lady to deal with and great firm.

Empathetic, clear, and practical advice about the formulation of my will. I felt full confidence in the process and appreciated the friendly yet suitably professional and knowledgeable approach.

Very happy

We are very happy with the completed estate and value the work undertaken by Diane Yarrow-Smith from Gotelee. Although this process is a long one, we were kept informed and speedily responded to if we had any questions! A necessary process but one dealt with professionally.

Excellent service outstanding overall

5

Such a friendly service I was very nervous & suffer with anxiety. I was treated with kindness and respect and made to feel nothing was too much trouble. Dianne came out to my house and this made it so much easier for me, I feel so relieved my Will is now sorted after months of worrying. Thank you.
