Wills and Power of Attorney

My husband and I needed to update our original wills which had been made many years ago with another solicitor. We found Elizabeth explained some complicated issues clearly and the process was very straightforward. We were very happy with the service and the price.

Inheritance

We chose Willett and co solicitors as they were already my father’s solicitors . From beginning to end of a very long process and complicated inheritance case, they kept us informed every step of the way. Extremely professional and left no stone unturned. We will of course continue to use the team that looked after us in the future. Will recommend to family and friends

Professional, efficient, and understanding

5

I came to Willetts not having used them before and needing a reliable onestop shop for drafting my Will, conveyancing the family home, and managing my related inheritance issues. The Willetts team handled all the above in a timely, professional and joined up way, as well as being always understanding of my issues, and easily approachable. I will continue to use them, and am happy to recommend them.

Alla Zubenko helped me throughout the process of purchasing a house. Very efficient and enabled us to complete in a short time frame.

Elizabeth Holmes time was also greatly appreciated. She assisted with the creation of my Will, explaining the process and answering all the questions I had.

Great service, thank you.
