Excellent Service you can trust

Meadows and Co handled the affairs of my late mother. From Probate through to sale of the home.
The service my family received was superb from start to finish.
The back up team, especially Wendy Noble were also superb.

Not as scary as I thought

It had taken us years to find the time and courage to do our wills and in the end it was an easy and straight forward process with the guidance of a professional. All questions were answered and issues explained. What a relief that that is finally done.
