New Wills

This review is for a different branch.

Having read about April King in a newspaper advert, I acquired their brochure. It was an informative, easy to read document. I made contact and a video meeting was made with Paul King. My wife and I explained to Paul what we wanted, and with his excellent, clear advice and guidance, we are extremely happy that both of our April King Wills are exactly what we wanted. The cost of producing the Wills were totally acceptable.
Meeting Paul and having him guide us through the process, was a pleasant, no stress experience for which we are both grateful.

Dear Mr Snaddon, Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review. We’re delighted to hear you had a great experience and appreciate your kind words! Best wishes, Support Team

Our first (video) meeting with Paul King was excellent. He took plenty to time to go through things carefully and to make sure that our intentions made sense, giving us lots of help and good, practical advice. This was followed up quickly by the admin team who kicked off the necessary paperwork.
We are looking forward to our next meeting in 2 weeks time.

A representative from April King Legal responded to this review on 05 September, 2024:

Dear Paul and Pam, Thank you for your kind words. We’re pleased to hear that your meeting with Paul was helpful and thorough and that the team have been proactive in your Will matter since. We look forward to continuing to assist you in the upcoming meeting. Best regards, April King Legal

Arranging new wills

This review is for a different branch.

The experience was surprising easy and pleasant.
Everything was discussed and explained in clear and precise manner.
Being able to see our solicitor (Catriona Wilcox-Weston) on line made us feel confident in our choices. Nothing was too much trouble. All the paper work was sent by post, back and forth quickly.

A representative from April King Legal responded to this review on 19 August, 2024:

Thank you for your positive feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you found the process straightforward and that everything was clearly explained. We appreciate your comments and are glad we could assist you. Kindest, Support Team

Protecting Our Legacy

This review is for a different branch.

In consultation with April King Legal, we opted for forward planning with a Bloodline Will because we wanted to protect our legacy for our children. Catriona Wilcock-Weston noted our requirements and explained in terms that we could understand how we could safeguard our assets for our children. The Wills were drafted for our approval, and the originals were ready within 2 weeks. The whole procedure was conducted in a very respectful but friendly manner, and we would not hesitate to recommend April King Legal.

A representative from April King Legal responded to this review on 16 August, 2024:

Thank you for your thoughtful review. We're delighted to hear that you felt well-supported by Catriona and that the process was straightforward and efficient. Protecting your family's legacy is incredibly important, and we're glad we could assist you in doing so. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any further queries. Kindest, Support Team

From the initial phone call to the first video call with Catriona, the whole process was very professional. Catriona was both knowledgeable and so pleasant to talk to. Catriona explained everything thoroughly and checked to ensure that we understood it all. I provided all the information needed and as a result, our draft documents arrived a week later. We then had time to review them before our next video call several weeks later. There was absolutely no pressure to purchase but I did anyway because as well as a first class service, the price was very competitive. From the initial video call to the arrival of our ‘proper’ documents, everything was absolutely first class. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company and in fact have given their details to several others since.

About this branch

Description

Since 1991, we have led the way in estate planning and bespoke Wills tailored to protect your children and grandchildren's inheritance. As specialists in Wills and estate planning, we can help you understand and deal with issues like keeping inheritance in the family bloodline, future care fees, estranged children, remarriage implications, and why Lasting Powers of Attorney are so important. Our clients are often surprised to learn that standard Wills offer little or no guarantee that their children's inheritance will not pass sideways out of the family bloodline to potential predatory third parties, such as the Local Authority or a former son-in-law or daughter-in-law.
