Bendall and Sons
When my wife passed away I needed to get help and advice so that the instructions my wife had requested when making a Will would be carried out as she wanted. A worrying time to myself and our children, but Rachel our dealt with everything on our behalf. A very friendly, efficient and professional team at Bendall and Sons.

My new Will
I was pleasantly surprised for the way my new Will was arranged. My solicitor gave me enough time to think about all the information I received. I was able to discuss with my daughter and was not rushed in any way.

Will Service
I found the whole process was handled in a caring manner, with great knowledge and understanding, was very thorough and asked the right questions to enable my Will to be just as I wished. I was treated with respect and as a person and not an idiot. I was completely satisfied with everything that Rachel said and did to finalise my Will just as I wanted it. I would recommend her to anyone making their Will. Thank you.
