Zoe Roberts

Zoe prepared some complex legal documents for us and she fully understood the brief the first time and produced a legal document that was exactly as per our requirements. Zoe was very prompt and professional at all times and I would have no reservations about recommending her and the rest of the team at LB to undertake legal work and we will definitely be using their services again

I was very pleased with the way Vanessa helped me. She explained everything to me. I had to ring her several times but she answered my questions to my satisfaction. I was very pleased that probate went through so quickly as was Vanessa.

Making a Will

Making a will can be a minefield of mixed emotions and an overload of information and choices as there are so many options, and prices. In the end we decided to go with Lanyon Bowdler and contacted them for a consultation. We were completely impressed with their professionalism and customer service also the way the look after their clients. Thankyou for all your help and patience we would definitely recommend your services.

Last Will & Testament of my Mother.


My Mother sadly passed away in June this year. It was a stressful time for my sister, myself and the whole family. There were many arrangements to make and sorting Mother's financial affairs was a challenge.

Julie Langford handed the last will and testament of my Mother. Julie was caring, understanding and professional throughout this time. She answered all our questions and explained the legal items in an easy to understand way. She guided us through the process with a sympathetic and caring attitude.

She dealt with the inland revenue and paid an agreed final payment. She included a payment to Co-op Funeral Care. Then she made arrangements to reimburse us for the cost of the wake and sundry items.

She also made the application to probate for us. I was pleasantly surprised when this was completed without any issues in a short time.

She sent written confirmation of the important stages of the procedure.

Julie always answered our emails promptly and was available each time we visited the Lanyon & Bowdler office.

I can thoroughly recommend this company and its approachable and friendly staff.

Renewal of will

The knowledge that Vanessa has in her work showed through when I recently renewed my will. I was very grateful to her for the guidance she gave me. I would certainly recommend her to anyone wanting help making a new will or renewing a previous one. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending her.
