Good timely resolution

Initially felt Ashton's were pushing a review of my mother's estate which wasn't required at a high cost however once all information was provided Sarah-Jane acted professionally and with good knowledge of our needs to be able to resolve my mother's estate left in the UK and in France and providing the relevant paperwork quickly. Appreciate her speed in getting things resolved so we can finalise things in France.

Excellent

We had a difficult situation involving part of an inheritance abroad. This was beyond the expertise of the firm we had initially employed to deal with the will, but definitely within the capabilities of Sarah-Jane Legge and Ashtons Legal. Sarah-Jane used her expertise and communication skills to deal with the legal system in France, negotiating every hurdle with confidence and professional skill and success. We felt supported throughout and fully up to date with developments. Sarah-Jane also demonstrated a degree of emotional intelligence which enabled her to cope with both our stress and to communicate with the French firm involved, on our behalf. We will be returning to Sarah-Jane and Ashtons Legal to ensure that future succession is secured without problem.
