Things were sorted but as I live in Rugby and both my parents died in Devon it was sometimes difficult to just deal with emails but we did on several occasions manage to visit the office in Teignmouth and see Sue to speak to. I understand that we were not a big financial family so face to face is important.

Review of work of executor of my husbad's will
Helpful, efficient and kindly. My husband's affairs were complicated and I could not have coped with achieving probate by myself.

I found the service provided scrupulous and effective. I was able to rely on Sue and her team to sort out the financial situation and this made dealing with both the grief at the loss of my husband and the practical problems that resulted for being alone easier.
