Estate Administration

Dealing with Estate Administration can be relatively straightforward, sometimes it's a total nightmare. Unfortunately I have experienced both over the past few years, and have not a clue had I would have got through those periods without the help of Robert Simpson. The first time I spoke to Robert I immediately felt that he was someone I could trust - and he spoke to me in layman's terms - so I had a better understanding of what had to be done, the options available, time frames involved, etc! I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Excellent probate service

Langdowns were recommended to me by a friend when I was looking for a firm to help me with the administration of my late partner’s estate. I found them to be extremely knowledgeable, helpful and professional.

UK probate following on from Hong Kong probate

Rob and Fozya were knowledgeable, easy to deal with and very organised when dealing with my father's UK probate which followed on (upon their recommendation) from a Hong Kong grant of probate. It was reassuring having them follow through the whole process, keeping me updated while I was in another country. This was the first probate I have had to deal with but I would not hesitate to go back to them in the event that I had to deal with another UK probate in future.

Rob's diligent work combines with good-humoured, timely and clear communication to provide the perfect foil to a reluctant, grumpy and somewhat disorganised executor.

Rob Simpson led my family through extremely complicated financial and legal processes over many months with great professionalism, acumen and good humour. He was always patient, prompt and incisive, and explained things to us in the clearest possible ways. We trusted him implicitly to act with integrity on our behalf and to charge us the correct reasonable fees for his services. This was most refreshing and reassuring.

This is the second time I've used Thomas Simpson. On both occasions, the service from Hilary and Rob has been highly professional, thorough, and with a friendly approach. Highly recommended.

I was looking for an alternative to the big 'all-services' firms of solicitors and so was very pleased to find Thomas Simpson who specialise in wills and related matters. Rob Simpson is helpful and approachable and made the process of settling my will (put off for some time!) very easy. I now need to set up a Lasting Power of Attorney and will use him again. Very happy with the service and the price.
