This is the first time I've had to sell a house left to me in a will it all seemed daunting and stressful with what to do.but after speaking to NIcola she explained everything and kept us up to date with the progress. Also the reception staff were just as friendly and helpful nothing was to much when we were asking questions in all a credit to the company name

Having reached our seventies, my wife and I were anxious to put our affairs in order so that our wills were up to date, powers of attorney in place and as much as possible of our assets protected for our children.
Having spoken to Nicola on the telephone, we already felt at ease even before going for our face to face appointment as she seemed so friendly and approachable.
On meeting her in person, we were impressed by her professionalism and her willingness to listen to what we wanted to achieve. She gave us sound advice and explained exactly what would happen next, including the probable timeframe and costs. Everything went through smoothly and efficiently.
We would have no hesitation in contacting Nicola again if the need arose and would recommend the firm in general.

First Will !

5

Hitting 60 I decided it was time to get my first will set up. Nicola at Sills & Betteridge went through the process making it a straightforward task for both myself and my wife. The will was made quickly and all the legalese was explained fully by Nicola. It couldn’t have been made any better or simpler than it was. Altogether a good experience with a satisfactory outcome.
