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.

Excellent prompt and professional service.
My partner and I needed to update our Wills and establish LPOA’s. Sue Halfyard is approachable, relaxed and very knowledgeable. We feel reassured that all our wishes have been appropriately considered and applied.

Over the three years duration, three members of staff were involved in the estate administration and each brought something different. All were efficient, with some more communicative and friendly than others. An improvement would be not to make the assumption that the client knows what happens next or what is needed. All in all a positive experience.
