The process was clearly explained at the beginning. Thereafter we were guided helpfully where we required explanation/advice resulting in suitable LPA's being provided and approved by the OPG.

Creating a will with my wife was quite a daunting thought as we have a very blended family, and we wanted to be true to each other and fair to each beneficiary. We met for a video chat with a graduate legal executive called Bethany Photiou, who immediately put us at ease and guided us through the minefield of will writing. I was very impressed with our advisor, who answered every question immediately and did not defer while she looked it up. She was very knowledgeable at every stage of the process, which also reassured my wife and I. All other documents were posted out to us securely in a very speedy time. We are happy that we decided to stay with a very professional group of people and I would highly recommend this firm to all my family and friends.
A representative from Wolferstans responded to this review on 05 November, 2024:
Hi Simon, Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad to hear that your experience creating a will with Bethany Photiou was positive and reassuring. It’s great to know that she was able to guide you and your wife through the process, especially with the complexities of a blended family. Your feedback about her knowledge and prompt responses is greatly appreciated, and we’re pleased to hear that the documentation was handled securely and efficiently. Thank you for recommending us to your family and friends; it means a lot to our team! If you find yourself, or a loved one requiring further legal assistance in the future, Wolferstans are here for you. Warm wishes, Wolferstans, LLP

We used Wolferstans in a property purchase that fell through in the end owing to issues purely on the seller’s side. Carol was absolutely amazing and did everything she could to find a way through the situation and regularly kept us updated.
Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Carol or the group!
Thanks!

We greatly appreciate your positive feedback regarding your experience with Carol and our team at Wolferstans. It's great to hear that Carol's dedication and proactive approach left a lasting impression, even though the property purchase didn't go as planned due to seller-related issues. Thank you for considering us recommendable, and should you embark on another property venture in the future, we'll be here to assist you once again. Fingers crossed that you find another wonderful property opportunity! Please reach out if you need any further assistance or have any questions. We look forward to the possibility of working with you again.

I have recently moved ourselves and my parents to new houses. The move was to ensure that my parents who are elderly were closer to us.
The timing of the transactions was important to us in order for us to maximise the support that we could give to my parents during the move. Pauline and her team understood the requirements and gave us fabulous support though out the process. We would not hesitate to highly recommend Pauline to anyone.

Jack Harvey has been amazing from start to finish. Kept me informed of everything and explained everything thoroughly. Always was at the end of the phone and email instantly. Never had to chase for an update he would keep you informed constantly. I would definitely recommend as a personal injury lawyer and thanks again Jack! Real credit to Wolferstans 😁

Poor communication, slow to do anything and never advise the family on their progress of carrying out work. Perhaps bdcause they aren't doing anything to make progress. Have heard the same from friends when left to deal with wills and estates.

Tracey Barton was so helpful, putting me at ease, and explains everything at every stage of the process. Nothing was too much trouble. Having the Covid19 virus happen during this process did not mean that Tracey’s dealing with my case was hampered in any way. She still worked hard to get the outcome I wanted. There was no loss of contact at all.
