From my first meeting with Rachel to discuss new will and LPA, I had complete confidence that the service I would receive would be first class and I wasn't wrong. Rachel is friendly, approachable and professional, she explained everything in detail and in an understandable way, no legal jargon. I was made aware of how my instructions were progressing at every step. I would use Tinsdills again if the need arises and would certainly recommend Tinsdills to family and friends.

Really helpful

Rachel and her team were so helpful to us in navigating probate of our mother's estate. Everything happened just as described. The only tiny issue I have is the £30 fee for transferring the funds from the estate - a small matter considering the whole piece of work.
