Deceased Estate
My father had been a client of Guy Williams as it was originally for about 50 years and after he passed away I asked them to deal with the business of the estate. Throughout the whole process they have been professional, helpful and easy to deal with. They also dealt with the sale of my father's property. I couldn't have asked for a better service and I would recommend them to anyone.

Professional and efficient
The firm dealt with the probate of my late mother's estate with efficiency and sensitivity. I dealt with 3 different solicitors due to leaving and maternity leave, but the process moved seamlessly. I have dealt with the firm several times and my experience has been similar each time

I used this firm when making my will
I used this firm when making my will during free wills month in October, and have nothing but praise for them, especially Nadia Morgan. I was treated with courtesy and respect, and she was very professional in all my dealings with her. I would use them again in the future if the need ever arises.

Lack of professional care handling case
I have never left a review for anything before however I feel my family have been through a lot regarding the death of my Grandad in December 2018 and felt an obligation to explain why I feel it necessary to leave one.
My mother and my uncle were beneficiaries to my grandads estate, they have been in direct contact with the solicitor handling the case via email, my mother went through an extremely difficult time and couldn't cope with the passing so you expect regular updates or general communication from the solicitors. Alas, when asking for an update it would be a while before hearing anything. (I would like to also point out that she never answers her phone according to my mom and my uncle, she is literally impossible to get in touch with)
I am very well aware this process does not take a month or two, we were all very aware it could take a year which was okay but to be denied a general response is appalling throughout the year, even if the progress didn't change, a quick email to explain this, would have been wonderful and the stress taken off my mom. If the solicitor had said "Unfortunately we have not heard anything as of yet but we are still looking into it" or "we are looking at around 1 or 2 weeks before we potentially hear something but we will let you know if something happens" then perfect, my mother would have been able to spend up to two weeks NOT stressing because she knew that's how long this particular part of the process would take.
Unfortunately though, the stress and passing of my grandfather proved too much for her and she passed away in November 2019. I do not place all blame on legalities as she obviously went through a traumatic experience regarding her fathers passing however she barely received any response and when she did, to be honest, they weren't very sympathetic or helpful and she would get very upset. My uncle and herself would ask for an update and hear nothing in return.
I went through my moms emails (I have had to sort through other financial worries such as insurances and direct debits/subscriptions to cancel as my mother and father had a joint account) I found the emails from the solicitor completely lacking any form of emotion, I appreciate they are not there to counsel or sing you a lullaby, but it bothers me that when handling such a sensitive matter with family, a little decency or sympathy goes a long way. In my mothers case, a very long way. Nadia does not seem understanding and most emails are "Could you send this ASAP..." and most emails were presented this way, there just doesn't seem to be any care or emotion revolving this case. Every time my mom or my uncle tried to call she was always unavailable. I have had to watch my mom struggle with the stress of this case throughout the year and all she kept saying was "I just need it to be over with now, I can't mourn my dad with the worry and stress of not knowing what is going on."
She even spelt my mothers name wrong on the interim cheque after months of liaising. This shouldn't be a mistake at this stage, she has all the information about my mother with her, how can you spell her name wrong? Everyone I have spoken too has told me when their loved ones passed it did not take this long, even before the house went on the market it just seemed to be taking forever. People have told me their loved ones have been in terrible financial stress and it was STILL much earlier settling the estate.
I contacted the firm on the 20th of January wanting an update as I was upset with how this case has so far been handled, a nice gentleman named Daniel gave me a courtesy call apologising for how it has been dealt with and my details would be passed to the will and probate department as urgent and I would hear within 48 hours from them with an update.
I still have not heard anything.
I have not chased since as I wanted to go through my uncle before doing so, he is a teacher so he is very busy and now mourning the death of his sister. He informed me he still has not heard from Simpson Millar or particularly Nadia, the last update was that the house is holding up the estate but nothing more, nothing in regards to my mothers passing, to my knowledge. I am very emotional and hurt/upset how all of this has been dealt with.
I would not recommend this firm. My father is now completely distraught and financially very unstable, again, all we wanted were regular updates about the process but she never answered the phone and didn't respond to emails. The difficult part of all of this is, it was never about the money and its always a very sensitive subject to bring up, mom just wanted it done smoothly so she could get on with her life but now my dad is struggling and for you to take money my grandad he has paid you for this kind of service is abysmal.
