Sorting out my mums estate was dealt with sympathetically and efficiently. It was very easy to navigate through with all the help offered.

Lucy was excellent in every way. Made everything so clear and easy to understand :)

After my Mums sudden passing, I was referred to Lockings solicitors by a friend as I had no idea about probate and what was needed to deal with my Mums estate.
I dealt mainly with Lucy Barford who was understanding and explained the process and costs involved.
The whole process was handled very professionally and everything was explained along the way with updates throughout.
I would highly recommend Lockings and Lucy Barford to my friends and family in these matters.

Lucy Barford professionally handled the probate and transfer of estate following the death of a close family member. At all times we found Lucy to be professional, pragmatic and processed this requirement through to Grant of Probate with minimal delay and providing effective communication. In particular we appreciated Lucy's help navigating complex IHT taxation law to ensure optimal processing and liability.

Accordingly we would have no hesitation asking Lucy to act for us again if circumstances demanded.

Due to a bereavement in the family we used Lockings as I've used them for years. They were compassionate and helpful through difficult circumstances

Lucy was very professional and clear on work and the costs throughout our dealings and very sensitive to the loss of both our parents in quick succession. This, on top of Covid and the fact that i was in Australia and New Zealand during the duration of the work was no easy task, but Lucy made it look easy.

I would not hesitate to recommend Lucy to anyone seeking legal advice and processing.

Absolutely first class service from Lockings dealing with Probate and Conveyance. I first spoke to Lucy Barford and explained my circumstances and the help I needed with probate & administering the estate. She was very professional, approachable, easy to talk to and she explained and discussed the process in plain English. I had already done quite a lot of the groundwork and was pleased that she acknowledged that this was helpful. There was also some 'detective' work that needed doing regarding a previous will and inheritance tax transfer. All this was carried out quickly & efficiently & ensured that satisfactory outcome was achieved.
The conveyancing of a property that had to be sold was carried out by Craig Schofield's team and again, the team were all easy to talk to, professional and all the work was carried out efficiently and as quickly as possible ensuring a very satisfactory ending to property sale.
I would like to thank Lucy, Craig and all their teams for making the entire process as pain and stress free as possible from start to finish. They are all a credit to Lockings. Well done and thank you all.

Lucy oversaw the Power of Attorney for myself and my husband Eric Morley.

Very user friendly and efficient.
Even managed to find a solution to the witnessing problem caused by COVID.
