Great experience

5

We recently used Biscoes in two sales and two purchases. In addition, we've also used them for wills. Always approachable, thorough and communicative. Which is just what you need from solicitors.

Late Mothers Estate.

5

We a problem with the lost original Will, which was problematic, and took a while to sort out. Tim was very clear and professional explaining the process and his communication throughout was excellent.
Tim also dealt with Probate, and as before his explanation and communication excellent.

George managed the conveyancing of the property sale. He also was very clear professional explaining the process. His communication throughout was excellent.
I would like to mention George's Legal Secretary Hannah Morgan who was always professional and helpful when I phoned or emailed pestering her. If she was not available she always got in touch as soon as she was.

I would highly recommend Biscoes Solicitors especially Tim Gamester and George Fielding.

Will Trust dismantling

5

Tim Gamester helped me dismantle an unnecessary will trust created by my late father's will. He was very knowledgeable and easily produced the required documents to efficiently end the trust. It was a pleasure working with him and I can highly recommend him and his assistant Gemma Dudman.

Efficient and Professional Will Writing Service

5

A very efficient & professional service provided by Tim at Biscoes. We had an online meeting to discuss our Will and then visited their offices to sign/witness it. All very easy from start to finish, we would certainly recommend them to anyone looking to update or change their will in Petersfield and surrounding area.

Complex will

Shambles, and liars

1

Biscoes bought the solicitor who had completed my mum's will. When she passed, I met with a solicitor who asked me to bring in all the paperwork, bank statements etc, which I did about a week later. I didn't hear from them for some time, so I called back, and he said "Well we're waiting for your paperwork". Turns out it was on a shelf in reception, having not been passed on.

We noticed some irregularities in the way the will was drafted, and asked to see the Will file. This was promised, but didn't arrive. On my 3rd time of calling, I was told that the solicitor had left the business, and was passed on to his former assistant, who had apparently been asked to send the documentation. She said she had never been asked, but would do it now. The next time I called back, she had also left the business, and will and probate services were being closed down at that office. I continued to be given the runaround, including excuses about documents in transit, for several weeks more, before I made a complaint. Then I was called by their head of probate, with lots of apologies, who assured me that he was personally seeing to it that the documents would be sent immediately. On the next call, after nothing was sent, he told me the documents were being translated from an old system by their IT department. Finally, a couple of weeks later, he admitted that the original solicitor did not have the Will file, which is how I am sure that he lied - non existent documents were not being translated from an old system.

A combination of shambolic and untruthful is not what you want from your lawyer. I would not step over their threshold again and would advise anyone else not to either.
