I am extremely pleased that I decided to use Wadsworths to produce my will. The whole process was made very easy by Mike Wadsworth with any queries being answered in a straightforward and understandable manner. Highly recommended.

Dr Colin Thompson - Executor for The Estate of Ann Wrenn deceased

5

Victoria Wadsworth and her team shared their vast experience and skills in handling the Estate of a deceased person of which I was the Executor. Victoria and her team were methodical and articulated every process.

Also, Alexandra Tait, Director of Wadsworth handled the purchase of the freehold property and Sale of the freehold property for the Estate methodically with articulating every process.

It has been a pleasure working with you and your team as the Executor for the late Ann Wrenn’s Estate.

The recommendation to use your services to the Wrenn children came direct from me as your practise is the Solicitors to our family for over 40 years.

Complex matter made easy with professional advice

We highly recommend Mr Michael Wadsworth. He made the writing of our will , which was a fairly complex matter, so much easier than we anticipated. We would highly recommend them for their professionalism and stress free approach.

Sandra and Rod's Will

5

As well as the people (and pets) we love, we agree there are just two other entities after death: one, our reputation or influence; two, our estate as represented in the Last Will and Testament. So, making a will is one of the most important things to do whilst we are happily on our feet. Now in our 70’s, we needed to revise our wills, written over 30 years ago and not corresponding to our current priorities. We have two adult daughters but also a steady trickle of our own health issues. Naturally, our needs will surely change, so we wanted to be proactive. This year, the costs of care are between £1,500 and £2,000 per week for the last few years of life. Reasonably, we want to preserve our estate in our survivors’ best interests. Absolutely impressed with Wadworths’ solicitor Gemma Dempsey, conveyancing our new house, we knew where to come. Our solicitor, Michael Wadsworth, clearly explained the circumstances where Property Trust Wills would be relevant and he emailed us a helpful brochure. He described our options and avoided telling us what to do. Immediately apparent to us, this ace solicitor listened carefully and then immediately and accurately reflected our wishes. Mike prepared perfect draft documents, for collection, within an astonishing couple of days. Really helpful, he also wrote an easy-to-understand synopsis, making it easier to grasp the formal language of our wills. Throughout, we found Mike to be respectful, equal and straightforward to understand. In less than two weeks, we were back in his office signing our precious documents. Mike is charming company and this is a perfect outcome for us and a very pleasant experience. Wadsworths Solicitors is completely professional, highly approachable and trustworthy.

Having realised that our wills needed updating, we did so with Michael Wadsworth, even though we had moved away from the area a few years ago. It proved to be a good decision as the whole process was completed quickly in a very friendly and efficient way.

We recently updated our Wills with MIchael Wadsworth at the Shirley Office. Michael was extremely efficient and approachable in providing legal advice, updating our Wills, corresponding and making appointments to see us straightaway. The whole process was completed in a week or so! I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending Wadsworths.

Recently, we decided to create new wills and Lasting Power of Attorneys. We spoke with our Henley in Arden branch of Wadworths and arranged to meet with Michael Wadsworth in the Shirley branch. Michael was excellent, very approachable and understanding. In only a couple of visits, we completed the process. The whole experience with Michael was professional and put our minds to rest.
