Wills update

5

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.

Will planning and Power of Attorney applicaton

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
