Updating our wills and setting up Legal Power of Attorney
Whilst setting up the wills was a fairly straightforward the process. Legal Power of Attnorney was much more time consuming and difficult for us. Rebecca was exctremely helpful throughout explaining everything and dealing withs us in a friendly and often amuzing manner. It was all much more difficult than we antiipated and couldn't have found our way through it all without the patience of the solicitor.
