Milners

Being both retired with grandchildren, we finally decided that we were long overdue in updating our Wills. Milners Solicitors have a small branch office in Upton near Pontefract, and as we live in the village, it made sense for us to use a firm within walking distance from our house. We rang the Milners office who gave us a quote for producing our mirror Wills that was equal to or better than some of the other quotes we had received. We were asked to ring Millie Schofield direct to make an appointment, as she deals with the Wills and Probate requirements in the Upton office.
We met Millie the following week and she was really most helpful in dealing with our requirements and made recommendations about how to keep things simple to avoid any potential probate issues our Executors could have further down the line. She gave us some guidance relating to Inheritance Tax questions and answered all our other queries very plainly so that we fully understood what the best way was for the Wills to be set out. Once we were happy, she then produced draft copies which she forwarded to us to read as a final check before signing.
We had also decided to complete our Lasting Power of Attorney documentation as well, which Millie again put together for us. She explained to us how the documents work legally and the different types of LPA's available. She forwarded us copies of some of the document clauses and gave us some examples of some fine tuning to the documents that we may want to consider relating to restrictions for our Attorneys use etc. We made a few adjustments which she included in her final draft and talked them all through with us at another meeting.
Again, all our questions had been answered simply and very quickly, whether by Millie in the office or from her online by email. The whole process was very well managed and we were more than happy with the service we received. We will definitely recommend Millie and Milners to anyone who asks, and we will also use Milners ourselves again for any other legal requirements that we have in the future.

John, & all the team are always on hand. Emails are answered so quickly, problems dealt with, phone calls taken. I wouldn't want to use any other firm from now on. Total professionalism.
Thankyou John

Had a drama-free and very efficient service from John at Milners. Always on the ball and prompt.

John provided outstanding service on our recent conveyancing, which turned out to be far more complicated that anyone could have imagined. Strips of land that nobody knew had separate Land Registry registrations, Approved Inspectors who had lost the building regulations certificate and files for the original build but tried to claim that no inspection was ever requested (thank goodness the Council record proved them wrong - they finally accepted the truth 9 months after providing them with the proof. The Inspectors definitely get a zero star rating at best!).
John's calm demeanour, insistence with the building inspectors and overall manner and approach was highly appreciated, providing reassurance as well as great legal service.
The proposed additional fee for all the extra work was also very reasonable, if the standard fee was rather on the high side (but nothing out of the ordinary for lawyers)

I have used Milners for many years, always providing me with excellent advice on my house sales and purchases, and family Wills. Advice given for various queries I have had over the years. Communication is first class and always achieved my request for completion on property bought and sold. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

The process for the sale of my property share was well explained throughout.
On time completion with very professional service throughout the process. I will definitely use Milners Law for any future house purchase/ sale.

After some poor experiences with other companies I was pleased to find Milners responsive, friendly and professional throughout. Rachel was extremely efficient and John was knowledgeable and always on the end of an email to answer any queries. Good value compared with many too. We are using them again and would thoroughly recommend them.

I am extremely impressed yet again, by the hard work and professionalism shown by John and his team. They are proactive, trustworthy and have always gone the extra mile for me
