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.

Grant of probate and associated matters.
Over the years, I've used various firms of solicitors, but withour doubt Helen Wilkinson and the team at Bridge McFarland are "head and shoulders" above their contemporaries. I would not hesitate to recomend them, for their professionalism, knowledge and approachability.
