Wills

I used Ashtons Legal to do my Wills. They were professional, efficient, knowledgeable, and pleasant to deal with. I had direct contact with my solicitor, who gave sensible advice. I would recommend this firm.

Last Will and Testament

5

I have used Ashtons Legal several times to do a new Will. Each time they have been good on advice and preparing my Will in accordance with my wishes. I have used them previously to prepare my Lasting Power of Attorney for both health and finance too. Also very knowledgable about these matters. I would recommend them to anyone who needs legal help.

Long time client

Ashtons has dealt with all my legal needs since 1986. Jennie Pratt first dealt with my mother's probate in 1986. Since then we have seen a succession of solicitors on various matters and I have no reason to change.

Probate

5

I came to Ashtons Legal for a Probate matter. They were professional, knowledgeable, and efficient and offered a first-class service. It was a smooth process; they acted with integrity, and I was kept fully aware of my matter. Ashtons were a pleasure to deal with, and I would recommend them and use them again.

Wills

We recieved very professional, efficient but also very firendly advice at an initial face to face interview. We were then able to come back with any issues by post, email or telephone with a final signing meeting. We always felt supported and able to ask anything. We have been with Ashtons for many years and continue to reccomend them highly.

Initial Consultation

4

The consultation was informative but due to other uncertainty about the whole matter it was not acted on.
