SRA ID: 578168

I am a Partner in the firm and have been at Devonalds throughout my career. I am based at our Tylorstown office but travel all over South Wales meeting clients to discuss their needs.I deal with Wills, Power of Attorney, Court of Protection and Probate matters. Making a will or dealing with a bereavement can be quite a daunting prospect so I try to offer a very relaxed and friendly service. I pride myself on working quickly and get things started immediately after receiving instructions to enable the process to be as efficient as possible.

Probate Application

The company had security and possession of my brother's Will for twelve years without charge. I therefore thought it only right that I should use them to execute it when my brother dies. They acted very professionally and efficiently on my behalf and I would recommend them highly.

Amendment to Will

4

We recently amended our Wills at Devonalds Solicitors. Our experience was very positive, we had direct contact with our Solicitor Ffion who provided a first class service. The whole process was straightforward. We had a friendly, professional and efficient service.
Definitely we would use it again and would recommend to all friends and family.

Great service

5

Used the firm to obtain Grant of Probate for my late father's estate. Explained the process well and all fees were agreed upfront.
I will use the firm again to transfer deed of ownership of my late father's house.
