Will and Power of Attorney

I recently went to Milners in Harrogate to change my will and do my Power of Attorney for health and mental capacity. It is the first time I had been to Milners. I had an appointment with Millie Schofield. I cannot praise her highly enough. She made the whole experience easy. She explained everything so well. She was very easy to talk to and I was able to express any of my concerns which she helped me with. I will have no hesitation in recommending her to my friends.

Sarah was understanding of the situation and did all within her power to ensure things were settled in as timely a manner as could be, which was a challenge when the other party refused to engage in any part of the process.

I recently used Milners Solicitors to buy a property and Kirsty Cronin was my Conveyancing Solicitor. Kirsty was extremely professional, very experienced, efficient, incredibly proactive, competent, great communicator, reliable, trustworthy, supportive, empathetic and friendly.
Thank you Kirsty for all of your assistance & help during the purchase of my new home. At no time did I ever feel worried or stressed as everything progressed without any issues or problems whatsoever.
Highly recommended!!
