We approached April King for advice on options for our wills and protection for our children’s inheritance
Elise was very helpful and friendly. Patient when explaining the different legal aspects and advising on our best options. She went through the details and answered our questions. We are very happy with the advice and support received

We put off making our wills for quite some time as we were unsure what we wanted to do. However Paul explained all our options helping us to make a decision. Once we received the draft Elise was very helpful explaining all the legal jargon in plain English. Thoroughly recommend this service. Thank you.

Every stage of the process was explained in words we could understand by Paul King. They are very efficient, all paperwork sent was tracked and arrived promptly. We also think the price was very reasonable and, we would definitely recommend them.

Wills - smooth & painless

This review is for a different branch.

The whole process was so smooth & painless with Martin being knowledgeable, patient & thoroughly professional.
Was 'kept in the loop' all the time &; responses (to questions via e-mail or phone) were prompt and completely adequate.
Fees were slightly lower than comparable law firms & explained full upfront and didn't vary from initial price.
I would HIGHLY recommend April King Legal services via remote phone enabling.

An excellent and professional service..
We wanted to update our wills and April King were recommended to us. Paul understood our requirements, using examples to ensure everything was clear, and guided us through the process in professional manner. He was able to suggest the correct clauses to include in our wills and on receipt Elise walked us through each clause to ensure everything was understood. We feel confident that April King will be able to assist our loved ones further whenever needed. A well deserved 5 star rating. Thank you.

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.

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.
