BEST PRACTICE
Following the death of my husband and in the midst of grief and numbness, Mr Hugh Calloway eased me through the process of applying for The Grant of Probate. He did so in a professional and kindly manner. Each step was communicated in writing with an accompanying timeline. Every question of mine was met with patience and a response given with clarity and in a timely manner. Nothing was too much trouble. From my first appointment via sorting out Inheritance Tax to receiving the copies of Grant of Probate took just 3 months.
