Court of Protection assistance
My nominated solicitor at Marc White & Co was Kate Rutherford and I cannot thank her enough for the assistance she has given me in securing a positive outcome to the 'minefield' involved in this procedure. This is the first step in selling a property in Spain whilst my husband lives with dementia and I will now be dealing with a colleague of Kate's at Marc White & Co for onward assistance with the Spanish authorities. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending this firm for legal advice. My thanks to Kate for her professionalism. Best Wishes Linda Hills

Best legal experience
I have needed to work with solicitors quite a lot over the last six or seven years. Kate has been by far the best, always gave good advice in a timely manner, gave clear plain English explanations of process and options and had good contacts when a barrister was nodded. Would recommend without reservation.

A small matter dealt with exceptionally well
I had a very minor probate enquiry - it might have been minor but the staff treated it with urgency and professionalism. I will be using them for all of my future personal legal requirements.

Probate
After several years of trying to resolve the estate/ probate in respect of my late husband I was recommended to Kate Rutherford of Cross Border Law Ltd.
From our first discussions I was immediately reassured by Kate's professional & compassionate attitude. Nothing was too much trouble & she was always able to talk & explain things in lay terms keeping me fully informed at all times even when it was to say there was still no news. Thanks to Kate all is now resolved.
