Probate and House Sale

5

We instructed Michael to handle our parents' affairs - initially for obtaining Probate and ultimately house sale. It was a lengthy, at times complex process taking approximately two and a half years to complete. Throughout the entire process we were kept fully updated. Nicola Hartley was superb in keeping us fully in the loop, responding to emails and telephone calls quickly. We cannot thank MIchael and his team enough for all of their support throughout this difficult time and would highly recommend their services.

Successful Right of Abode and British passport application from Nigeri

I am Edos currently based in Lagos. I contacted Henry Hyams as regards my immigration status to the UK from Nigeria. I was advised to apply for a right of abode first which was successful without any issues. On applying for my British passport, had some little issues but Nicola who was handling my case as at that time was very professional and helpful. A very good experience all the way! Thanks to Katie Vine, Nicola and the entire Henry Hyams team

Nicola was the para legal dealing with my late father’s Will & Probate. I would highly recommend her services. She made a difficult time much easier and was always on hand to answer our questions and came back with quick responses.
We were more than happy with the way everything was handled and would not hesitate using the company again. Thank you Nicola and colleagues.

I had to apply for a further leave to remain in September 2022, and I had the pleasure of working with my solicitor, Nicola Hartley, who was professional, honest, and kept me fully informed of the required documentation throughout the process. I had direct contact with her, and she was quick to respond to my phone, email, and in-person inquiries. She is a lovely person who is easy to understand and to work with. I was able to obtain my further leave to remain residence permit in less than a month thanks to her services, and I highly recommend her services and the firm to anyone going through immigration applications. I have been a loyal customer since 2019, and I will continue to use their services in the future.
