New Wills
Following some changes in circumstances, we needed to have our wills updated and chose to have this done by a firm much closer to where we now live. Belcher Addison have been very helpful and attentive and we are confident that they will be there to assist us and other family members as and when the need arises in the future. We would recommend this firm.

Preparation of Will
Follwing the passing of my husband I needed to draw up a new will. I received supportive and professional information which allowed me to make an informed decision to ensure that my wishes were adequately catered for. At an extremely difficult time in my life I felt reassured and grateful for their understanding approach.
