Professional and Friendly

Emma Clarke provided excellent service. She was both professional and friendly in her manner; accommodating in her outlook and helpful throughout.

Everything took place in a timely fashion, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Emma to all.

PoA registration

We were told elsewhere that a longstanding PoA required registration with the OPG.
We consulted Emma Clarke and she was able to explain the requirements and to help us with the procedure.

Our Wills

We recently visited Emma to discuss changing our Wills.
Emma was very personable and professional throughout the whole process and it was easy to understand her clear and honest advice.
We were impressed with her refreshing approach in understanding our needs and ensuring our requirements were accommodated.
We would definitely be recommending Emma to our family and friends.

Großartige Unterstützung in einer schwierigen Zeit

5

Als mein Schwager in England vor 3 Jahren verstarb, standen wir vor der für uns völlig neuen Aufgabe, eine Erbangelegenheit im vereinigten Königreich regeln zu müssen. Über einen Freund in Chelmsford kam ich mit Birkett Long in Person von Emma Clarke in Kontakt und Emma übernahm sofort die Aufgabe, uns gegenüber allen Stellen zu vertreten.

Emma regelte alle Angelegenheiten juristischer, steuerlicher und finanzieller Art bis hin zur Veräußerung einer Wohnung in London zu unserer vollsten Zufriedenheit. Die Zusammenarbeit war großartig - wir wissen nicht, wie wir die Sache ohne die Unterstützung von Emma regeln hätten sollen.

My will

Easy process with Emma and the team, even with some moving parts during the changes and meetings.
This was my second time updating my will with Emma, and she was helpful on both occasions.
