Wills: Including Legacy of NIC Rate Band on Discretionary Trust

My wife and I have always dealt with Wolferstans at their Plymstock Office for over 45 years. This has included two property sales & conveyancing for both: we have recently renewed our wills which included the nil rate band discretionary trust. This involves quite a lot of legal work to set up and we were very pleased with advice and explanations on this complex subject. Ms Georgina Pollard being a delight as our solicitor.

Will & lasting Power of Attorney's

Georgina Pollard throughout the creating of my Will and 2 Lasting Power of Attorneys was a true professional. She was a great help in constructing both Will & LPA’s. She made me feel welcome at all times. Because of my Vision impairment I would especially like to single her out for reading, allowed to me, both my Will and LPA,s, I was really grateful for that.

Excellent, professional first class service.

Rebecca, Beth and their team guided my family through the very sensitive matters following a family bereavement. They were not only professional, sensitive and caring. They also provided help and advice for matters we also needed to consider. I would highly recommend them for helping to make a very sensitive matter easy to navigate with total compassion .

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!

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.
