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.

Great Solicitors, extremely helpful, highly recommend!!

Risdons is a very professional firm. They helped me when I needed it, and their advice was always open, honest, and concise. Not once did I feel I was just a file number, as I was always treated person-centred and made to feel welcome when I visited the office. I would highly recommend Risdons, especially Sarah Back, who helped me around setting up a Lasting Power of Attorney for my mum, and Kris Seed, who helped me with a family matter.

Solicitor's Review

5

Leaving my making of a Will rather late in life I had no idea quite how to approach it. Sarah Back of Risdons Solicitors, Wellington, was most helpful and guided me expertly through the procedure for which I'm most grateful; I didn't find it easy. Thank you Sarah, I'm relieved my Will has now been finalised.
