Will and Estate Administration

5

Excellent management of our estate. Guided us through the probate process, was fully up to speed on all the issues and complications of our circumstances. Kept us informed of progress, and managed expectations on timeline, specifically HMRC backlog. Everything right first time, was kind, polite, professional, authentic. Couldn’t speak more highly of the service. And at a very reasonable price.

Estate Administration excellent services provided

5

Florence Gardner has provided a consistently excellent Estate Administration service for the Estate of my late Aunt. In what has at times seemed very complicated and with multiple parties involved, Florence has always provided clear and timely updates and promptly provided additional updates every time they have been requested. Florence’s attention to detail has been evident throughout our dealings with her and she has a very strong and hard working work ethic. Florence’s additional support in terms of providing additional contacts and liaising with them closely on our behalf has been invaluable. I would highly recommend Florence and would definitely request her to work on any Estate administration I might be involved in again.

Sarah Steel and her team are amazing, polite, helpful, friendly, and very knowledgeable, and they helped me to sort out an over payment on my Mum's Inheritance Tax, with regards to claiming a refund on my Mum's Estate.

Well done to Sarah's team,

Many thanks
