We needed to update my husband's will. The will was changed extremely quickly. and as my husband is housebound, Duncan and his assistant came to our home for the signing. It could not have been easier or more delicately handled.

Julia has been managing the Estate of one of my late relatives who resided in England. She provided regular and detailed updates on the status / progress of the various financial components throughout the lengthy inheritance process. I would highly recommend her services.

From the very first phone call, to the last e-mail, Genette has been so professional, so helpful, friendly, and her advise was invaluable.
Genette made what was a very tricky process, go as smooth as possible.
She constantly kept me up to date and informed as to what was happening for each stage of my divorce.
I know it wasn't as straightforward as we'd have liked, but her patience, and understanding was comforting to me in what was a very stressful time.
I have no hesitation in recommending Genette to any future customers.
Thank you so much for all your hard work.
A representative from Rutters responded to this review on 03 October, 2024:
