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

Best in Class Sheffield

We were given their details by a third party, whilst enquiring about wills and trusts. A meeting was arranged with Helena. At this meeting we were immediately put at ease by Helena. All our queries were dealt with in a professional yet friendly manner.
The whole process, from initial meeting to signing off papers was seamless.
Would willingly recommend this Company for all Legal and Wealth Management matters.

Making a Will

After much procrastinating my partner and I made an appointment to see Helena at Fogwill and Jones. We have 'always been going to make a will' and last week we eventually signed along the dotted line and it is such a relief to know that things are in place now. Helena was very patient and explained everything in relation to our situation (an unmarried couple with children and step children) and the pros and cons of each option. She answered all of our questions and gave us time to consider without any pressure to commit. It was a very straight forward process and we found Helena to be approachable, professional and efficient. We wouldn't hesitate to ask for her assistance in the future.

Making a will

Helena was very efficient in sorting out my will. She listened to my requirements and gave good advice in incorporating my wishes. Communication was always clear and pragmatic. It is the second time I have used Helena's expertise and on both occasions she has been both very approachable and very professional.
The company has it's own parking area so is readily accessible.

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.
