Last Will and Testament

Overall a satisfactory conclusion to a long process made so by the Will being contested.
More frequent updates would have been preferred, many weeks passed with no indication of any progress in the application.

If It Ain't Broken, No Need To Mend It!! Well Done

I'm 82, my Wife 74, neither with any background in Law or knowledge. Some might say past our sell-by dates. We thus sought the investigation of the Power of Attorney world with some trepidation , but this proved totally unwarranted and we thank Tinsdills for taking us through that world with total professionalism and friendliness, to the desired destination. As elsewhere within our response, we feel they've done a first class job. Thank you again
