Grant of Probate

4

Having started the probate via HMRC online thinking it would straightforward. I waited quite a lot of weeks for info from HMRC.
In the end I decided to engage with Tozers in Exeter to help me. Thankfully Matt was available to help me and while process was much faster. I was relieved to receive the Grant so quickly.
I would recommend Matt, he is kind and very knowledgable.

Efficient and responsive

5

I found that Matt and Emma from Tozers were efficient, responsive and a pleasure to deal with. At all stages I was kept informed, and where necessary they applied pressure to move things along. Their costs were managed to their estimate, and all engagement paperwork was clear up front. I will not hesitate to use Tozers for any future legal work in the UK and would recommend them.

Last Will and Testament

5

During a traumatic diagnosis, my husband needed to make his last Will and Testament very quickly. I phoned about 10 practices which would not come out to the hospital.

One phone call to Wollens and the solicitor was with my husband in about an hour and by 4pm it was signed and legal.

Thank you from both my husband and myself.
