My Will

I had started out with the intention of having one Will, valid 'world-wide' in other countries. However I was advised by Sparlings that this is not possible, and I now have a UK valid Will, for my UK property. So I am grateful for them being able to advise of this fact.

There are many reasons to be thankful to Sparlings Solicitors for their help and service. Especially at some of the most stressful times in our life. Not least during what is my last move at 90 years of age. Thank you Rita Bridge.

I had such an amazing experience with Sparling Solicitors - in particular Michelle and Kay. They assisted me through a sale falling through on my first property and helped me purchasing my new home! They were always quick to respond to any queries I had, really professional which allowed me to complete quickly! Would 100% use again and recommend to everyone!
