This review is for a different branch.

First rate experience from start to finish.

Everything was clearly explained in simple terms, which made the whole process less daunting that it may have been.

Would have no hesitation in recommending April Key to others and a particular thanks to Paul King for taking us through the process step by step, in a clear, friendly and professional manner.

We visited to update our wills in a face to face consultation with Catriona .
She impressed us as a confident and competent professional .
Catriona expressed herself with clarity of communication and, more importantly, in plain English.
She is very knowledgeable and informative and so we feel much relieved now we have consulted with her .
We believe her to be an excellent ambassador for the firm and we have no problem with highly recommending April King and will continue to use the firm as and whenever necessary.
It was a great pity that had to go to Nottingham to do it as their Leicester office is now closed.

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.
