Trying to collect a will

I rang last week to arrange to collect a will today Monday. The other executor lives away so they were asked to email giving consent.
On arrival I was told the person I had spoken to was on holiday, I explained the conversation last week etc and that everything should be in place, to be met with negativity. This was eventually resolved but not without me having to reiterate the situation. Poor communication and not great, no compassion when clearly someone is recently bereaved.
I had a poor experience with these solicitors last year when I needed to use a POA and it had been signed by a paralegal which wasn’t acceptable to the financial institution, the did verify it and told there would be no charge ! This is despite paying £1000’s for the POA to be drawn up it was almost like they were doing me a favour.
Safe to say they won’t be getting my business to sort the estate out

Both my husband and my self are not confident with technology, and at times we were out of our depth with all the forms. Lucy was great she helped us efficiently. She was on the ball with the whole process and made us feel more confident. Also each time I contacted Lucy she was very polite and patient. Thank you very much Lucy.

About this branch

Description

At Symes Bains Broomer we are proud to have an excellent group of people with deep and detailed knowledge in their chosen specialisms. Many of our staff have been with the firm for a number of years getting to know clients and developing an innate knowledge of their needs. Other members of staff may not have been with us for quite so long but they bring detailed experience from working elsewhere in the market together with new, fresh and innovative ideas. We genuinely believe that the combination of these aspects is a significant advantage to choosing our firm. We also ensure that an appropriate focus is placed on our pricing. Gradually, we are seeing a move away from the old and unpredictable method of charging solely on the basis of time spent and hourly rates. Whilst we still use this as a basis for recording work on files, we ensure that estimates are provided at the outset of a transaction and ensure that these are revised and updated where needed. Also, in an increasing number of areas we offer fixed fees as a matter of routine, for example in making a will or buying a house. We recognise that price is hugely important to clients and we aim to be competitive in our pricing structures. However, we would never sell ourselves solely on the basis of being the lowest price in the area. This is not what Symes Bains Broomer is about. Instead, we recognise the importance of a quality job and we believe that we strike the correct balance between quality work and competitive pricing. You can also be certain that our firm is audited and inspected to the highest standards. We currently hold the Lexcel quality mark which emphasises excellence in legal practice management and client care. Together with this, we also hold the ISO 9001 quality accreditation and we are members of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme as well as being Family Law accredited.
