Writing mirror wills and advice on setting up a Trust
We were recommended to Heringtons for advice about setting up a Trust for our daughter and writing a pair of Mirror Wills for my wife and myself. The advice was very helpful, and the Wills were completed professionally with the help of our solicitor.
