Power of Attorney
Helen Wilkinson conducted my first interview with precise answers to all my questions. I was in no doubt that I was at the best solicitors for what I require, that being power of attorney. Everything went smoothly without any surprises.
Many thanks to Helen and your staff.

Review of Will, Family Home Trust & Lasting Powers of Attorney
Mrs Helen Wilkinson arranged mine & my wife's will many years ago. Helen was very caring and knowledgeable. Both my wife & I were confident with her advice. Helen rearranged my will when my wife passed away with kind empathy. Helen also advised me on Family Home Trust with the same kind of thoroughness and advice. Helen gave me great peace of mind in arranging Lasting Powers of Attorney. I can confidently recommend Helen in that she will always act in the client's best interest. Thank you Helen.

Probate Matter
I was appointed as an executor in the will of a non-relative. Helen Wilkinson dealt with the work and was excellent to deal with. She was straightforward with her advice which was both understandable and clear. Helen kept me fully informed at every stage of the process and I valued her support, guidance and expertise.
