Maria's Estate

Over many years we have been dealing with Nigel Gibson-Birch at Machins and his advice and expertise has always seemed to be on the money and very helpful and giving us guidance in fields in which we were totally without any knowledge.
Lately we had to deal will Maria's will and estate which we did once she'd been diagnosed with cancer. All the while Nigel has been most help with his advice and expertise. I won't hesitate in calling on his services again if needed

For services on behalf of Mrs E. F.Bailey's estate

I would like to thank Nigel and all of the team at Machins, for their patience and professionalism regarding my late mother's estate.
It was a difficult time for all concerned. Nothing was too much trouble.

Machins (Nigel Gibson-Birch and Gill Vyse) dealt with the Will, Probate and house sale after my mother died. They were both helpful, efficient, transparent and professional throughout this whole difficult process. They also charged a very reasonable fee. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Thank you Nigel Gibson-Birch! It has taken me 53 years to finally get Wills for my husband and I drawn up and we are incredibly grateful for the patients, expertise, knowledge and advice that Nigel gave us to make this happen. He listened carefully to our wishes and concerns and tailored the Wills to meet our exact requirements, he gave us the time to ensure all bases were covered and the confidence in his impeccable, knowledgeable service to know that our estate will be handled easily and that our children will be looked after should the worst happen. I can't tell you how grateful we are to get our Wills sorted out and the peace of mind that we now have is enormous. Sending heartfelt gratitude to the staff at Luton's branch of Machins Solicitors LLP, (even though we live near Lancaster!) and specifically to Nigel Gibson-Birch and Sophie Kenworthy for their professional, caring great value for money service. The relief of finally getting our Wills written and safely secured is fantastic and I only wish we had done it sooner!

My mother has been using Machins Solicitors for years whilst Mr Gibson-Birch has supported her for even longer. Concerning the last request for support for which I was involved Nigel proved to me why mum has continued to request Machins services. That is that Nigel is a very decent person, professional, experienced, and approachable. All of which is very much appreciated.

A truly brilliant firm of proactive solicitors offering a personal service. I use them, even though I live in Milton Keynes and they are based in Luton.
Both Nigel Gibson-Birch and Eugene Pritchard and their assistants have provided an excellent service (better than the service I have received from about 7 different firms of solicitors in Milton Keynes).
Nigel for help and advice with a trust and power of attorney and the sale of a house in London, partly held in trust, and Eugene for conveyancing.
Both solicitors really know their areas of law and give excellent advice as well as responding very promptly to emails and telephone calls.
Suzanne (Eugene's assistant) even emailed me to let me know they had received a faster payment, before I had finished typing the email to let them know I had sent it!
I am happy to pay a little bit more for such service, but it is only a little bit more.
