Excellent, clear and responsive service

My wife and I created simple mirror wills supported the Will Aid scheme. Helena Grady explained the process in sufficient detail and in understandable terms, not only ensuring our Wills were appropriate but also that we understood what we were doing. If we had done this ourselves we would have missed out on key nuance related to Wills that can only be obtained by solicitor drafting. We now feel secure and confident in our plans.

Probate service and administration.

Assisted by Helena (Solicitor) with a recent family probate case .
Absolutely first class and very professional help in our our moment of need.
Helena put us at ease with all the legal paperwork , closing of accounts , paying off outstanding bills etc. etc.
We would have really struggled without the help and understanding given to us all by Helena in closing a family members estate.
We would not hesitate in using Fogwill & Jones in the future if necessary and would definitely recommend to anybody to use their services in your hour of need.
Many many thanks.
Paul , Tina , Billy and families.

Helena helped us to prepare our wills. We were made very welcome at the office on both our visits and refreshments were offered on arrival.
All our correspondence to Helena was replied to promptly and relevantly.
Any questions we had were answered and explained, to enable us to make decisions and complete our wills.
Despite the topic of our visits, we had a pleasant experience, which was relaxed, personable and respectful.

Helen Grady updated my Will following the joint purchase of a property in Cornwall with my wife. She made my updated Will very easy to understand and the service I received was excellent. I would recommend friends of mine to use her service.

Fab service for new Wills

After having a baby we asked Helena to write us new Wills to ensure that everything was in place in the event that the worst happened. Helena met with us on Zoom, was very professional and speedy and it was a really smooth process. I feel so much better having everything in place. Thank you Helena!

Probate and IHT after our fathers passing

After our father passed we met with Helena, who had drawn up our fathers Will. She explained the probate process and that she could do as much or as little as we wanted. We gathered all the details for the HMRC IHT submission. Helena then completed and submitted the IHT forms, then 20 working days later submitted for probate. We got probate back in 8 weeks which was about half the expected time; I am sure in part to the thoroughness of Helenas submission. Many thanks Phil

Preparing our wills.
From first contact we had a very professional and comfortable service. Helena Grady was on annual leave when we first made contact and we were provided with excellent service and information by Ruth Hutton- the only solicitors we approached who offered any information other than cost.
We were happy to proceed with our wills and found Helena easy to talk to and happy to explain our options and tell us things we might never have considered. Although not easy to think about our demise the whole process was made simple for us and all our needs were met.
We are very happy with the resulting wills and trusts and have recommended Fogwill &Jones to friends and family.

I cannot thank Helena enough for the kind, considerate and very efficient manner in which she recently helped me with my uncle’s estate. Never having done anything like this before I was a little worried how difficult it would be, but Helena made my wife and I very relaxed in our meetings with her. Probate was obtained in under 6 weeks and we are truly grateful to have had such a kind and professional lady like Helena during this difficult time. Thank you very much Helena .

My wife and I were very impressed by the service provided when writing our wills. The Solicitor, Ms Grady had the perfect balance of being welcoming and friendly while appearing knowledgeable and professional. Preparing a will can be quite an emotional experience but she guided us through with qreat sensitivity. As I have mobility problems the ease of access was appreciated. The price, covering two visits and a draft was very reasonable compared with quotes obtained elsewhere.

Can't thank Fogwill and Jones enough for their brilliant speedy service in obtaining probate for my late mother's estate. Will not hesitate to use their services again and would highly recommend them for any similar circumstances. Helena was very understanding and a pleasure to deal with throughout.
