Wills update
My partner and I needed to update our Wills after change of circumstances. As before, when we instructed Brachers it was easy to contact Chris Eriksson-Lee and set up an appointment. New Wills were prepared and executed within a couple of weeks and Chris provided helpful and relevant advice as well. Once again, we are happy with the service provided.

I felt I was given professional advice, in a comfortable manner, on very difficult and stressful decisions, when making my Will so that it was agreeable to all my family.
I have peace of mind with the Powers of Attorney being registered and copies of my Will held with the firm

Excellent choice
Had previously dealt with Brachers professionally so making the decision to deal with the firm at a personal family level proved to be an "excellent choice". I would have no hesitation in recommending the firm in future to others, as indeed I have already done!
