Legal advice for submitting documents for probate and Land Registry was both helpful and practical
It was particularly helpful to have Crane and Staples deal with the legal formalities. Georgina was always polite and helpful

Georgina Donnellan Review.

5

I cannot recommend Georgina Donnellan more highly. She handled my mother in law, Ivy Wardle's estate and probate with expertise and skill in a very confident, efficient and friendly manner.
She was very quick in solving any problems and issues that arose, and was constantly ensuring things were kept moving.
She always responded well to any questions asked. An overall excellent service.
Thank you very much.

Probably the best in the area

5

Having heard good things, we chose C and S to help deal with our Mothers Estate after her passing - Inheritance Tax, Probate.
Suitably impressed, we continued to use them for the sale of her home which we achieved in a timely manner ensuring the Buyers benefited from Stamp Duty holiday. No mean feat considering the short space of time involved.
Both Georgina and Manish were incredibly efficient, knowledgeable of their respective subjects and very professional. Any issues were dealt with straight away.
Considering the restrictions that Covid brought about in 2020 and the race against the clock re: Stamp Duty holiday, it was a sterling effort.
Excellent service.

I can see why Georgina Donnellan won Junior Lawyer of the year. Very straightforward to deal with (especially during these challenging times). Thank you
