Will Preparation by Sandra Danaher

Having thought of making a Will for quite some time we set upon reading on what's involved in making a will. The various points we need to consider to prepare a composite Will. Researching for the appropriate firm of solicitors rather than Will writers is what we decided and having spoken to various firms for how well they can accommodate our request we came across Josiah Hincks firm of solicitors in Syston Leicester. Reading through their website of various solicitors within the group we decided to go with Sandra Danaher to prepare our Will. We were delighted to have met her as she was friendly and listened patiently to what our needs were, how we wanted our will to be structured. She has a wonderful art of listening and then in simple terms allowing us to consider other points in order to cover all the avenues not leaving anything incomplete.
We felt her professionalism and her approach followed by the way of working along smoothly with us to provide clear advice that we can understand was comforting, along with this her patience all through the process was admirable.

Jonathan Foster did for me in 6 months what I had struggled to do in 7 years and with his input managed to get me what was legally mine.
I would recommend him 1000 times over.

There were some problems with people in the chain lower down, but this was handled in a calm and unflustered manner when we called, which is very reassuring and calms you down and gives you confidence that everything is being done.

It was my first dealing with JH and I was very impressed with their service. Always made time to be available to chat or with an appointment. Progress and professionalism of business was exemplary. I was acting on behalf of another but will be changing my allegiance to JH when need in the future. Thank you Sue for your attention.
