The Legal process

The main reservation I have is the amount of time the legal process takes in dealing with wills and probate. Having to look back over so many months since my husband died is upsetting and does not help with the changes you have to meet whilst still grieving. Learning to trust people is the main lesson I have had to learn and still I really fear technology.
Blanchards have been very supportive in helping me but I do so wish that my own circumstances would move faster so that other legal matters that need addressing can be approached

Moving house

I have not moved for 35 years, things have changed considerably Sophie was extremely professional and very knowledgeable. She explained things in easy to understand language and didn’t use jargon. She was very kind and reassuring during the process which was very stressful at times. I would certainly recommend her when moving house. Nothing too much trouble for her.

A very disappointing service from the Probate department - not sure if it was a case of too many clients or a culture within the company - it felt like our file would come to the top every couple of weeks, one task would be done (or just considered) and back to the bottom of the pile it went. Only when a formal complaint was submitted did any concerted action happen. This laidback approach wouldn't work in any other profession. The management needs to look at how Probate applications are processed, with weekly checks and updates for all clients.

Solicitor Natasha Long made a complex and lengthy probate as straightforward as it could be. She was clear, informed and organised at all times. I would definitely recommend Blanchards Bailey.

I was recently sent a Notice from another Solicitors, concerning my fathers Lasting power of Attorney. I wanted to get some clarification and advice on the implications of the notice and reached out to Blanchards Bailey to help. Jerome Dodge was excellent and explained what the Notice meant and offered some options on how to proceed. Jerome was very sympathetic at what was an emotional time for all involved. Excellent service and would have no hesitation in recommending them.
