We wanted to set up LPAs and do revisions to our existing Wills.

From beginning to end it was a pleasure to deal with Sarah at Risdons Hosegood. We felt confident and reassured by the through approach taken to ensure that our wishes were accurately recorded.

Would very much recommend.

Excellent Service

Following the death of my husband I needed to make a new Will and also Powers of Attorney as I had some medical issues myself.
Sarah was very kind and helpful and understanding of my situation.
She was friendly and very professional and answered all my questions. The advice she gave seemed sound and the business was completed in good time and to my satisfaction. Altogether good service.

The whole process was professionally executed with a friendly, approachable and knowledgeable solicitor. She adopted a flexible approach to our particular circumstances. Documentation was clear, with covering explanatory letter. Fee schedule well laid out and was what we anticipated. Excellent Service. This was our second use of Risdons and would certainly use again.

Probate for Mother

5

When my brother and I approached Ridsons to deal with the Probate for both our Mother & Father, we were delighted with the clear and concise plain language that was used to explain the whole process and costs to us. Subsequently, we felt that Risdons were often proactive and indeed went the extra mile for us when faced with some challenges concerning information from Banks. We have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Risdons.
