Preparation and writing a will.

5

Fiona helped my husband and myself prepare our wills. She gave us lots of advice on what we would need to consider.
With Fiona’s help the process was really straightforward.

Power of Attorney

Excellent service from Fiona, was very accommodating and helped my parents understand the process and what it meant for them.
Everything was explained clearly, communications were prompt and the paperwork was completed on time.

Highly recommended

Will and power of Attorney

5

Fiona met with us at a time and location that fitted in with our work schedule. She is very approachable and we felt at ease discussing our wills and debating how it was best laid out for our family.
We also decided on having the Power of Attorney documents done so everything is done and we have peace of mind.

POA

Fiona sorted out my mums POA. Fiona came to see my mum in her home rather than an office setting and was really lovely and explained everything in such a way that made my mum feel at ease . I would definitely recommend Fiona in the future to anyone needing to deal with the difficult decisions involved in POA

Review of RJR Legal regarding Power of Attorney, for myself Stephen Wa

5

A successful conclusion to my request for Power of Attorney. It's such a protracted process that I'm glad I didn't have to do it myself.
Fiona has helped with other matters previously, and has helped with my queries along the way, and when she wasn't immediately available another lady helped with my questions. Sorry I can't remember her name but help was instantly forthcoming.
I wouldn't hesitate to contact Fiona and RJR for any other matters in the future.
