Where there’s a will, it’s your way

Ailidh was a guest speaker this afternoon at Strathaven Trinity Guild meeting. It was a very interesting and informative presentation and thoroughly appreciated by the members in attendance (approx 40). She was a very engaging presenter and dealt with lots of questions - the most any previous speaker received. She explained the laws affecting wills and powers of attorney in a way that everyone understood and gave some potential scenarios which everyone appreciated. We would thoroughly recommend Ailidh to any organisation - her friendly, enthusiastic and engaging manner was appreciated by everyone attending. A very successful afternoon.

Excellence

We recently consulted with Ailidh regarding the preparation of a will and the establishment of a power of attorney. From the very beginning, we were impressed by her professionalism and her extensive knowledge of family law. Although we initially had concerns about the process, Ailidh quickly alleviated them by attentively listening to our unique family and business circumstances before thoroughly discussing the available options. She addressed all our questions comprehensively, instilling confidence in us. As a result, we are now in the process of implementing the various components of our plan.

I met with Ailidh in relation to making a will and setting up a power of attorney. I had concerns about this process, however they vanished immediately. Ailidh put my mind at ease – she is polite, personable, patient, and 100% professional! Ailidh addressed all my questions and filled me with confidence. I was so impressed and had no hesitation in giving her the green light to proceed.

I completed a form online within 10 minutes I had a phone call to make an appointment. I had an appointment with Ailidh Ballantyne who explained how the process would work, she was very informative and has kept in contact over the past few days to ensure that I know what I was needing to complete.
10 out of 10 service would thoroughly recommend Scullion Law to everyone I know.

I am dealing with a bereavement and Ailidh was so lovely to speak with. She listened with compassion and understood what kind of assistance we were seeking.
It makes the process less traumatic when you feel you can get clear answers to the legal questions that have arisen.

I had the great pleasure of liaising with Ailidh Ballantyne regarding the charity I work for receiving a legacy from of one of her clients. From the first communication to the last, Ailidh was a joy to liaise with. Thank you so much for your professionalism, friendliness and above all, for taking the time to understand more about our charity and why your client wished to support us. It meant a lot.

Our charity was recently the beneficiary of a generous legacy and Ailidh at Scullion Law (instructed to deal with the estate administration) was a great help, ensuring the process was clear, efficient and professional throughout. Everything was dealt with promptly, Ailidh was helpful and a pleasure to deal with, we were more than happy with the whole experience.

I made a appointment to speak with Ailidh Ballantyne who agreed to assist and advise me on the processes involved in dealing with my late father's estate. Ailidh explained all processes clearly which was greatly appreciated given I've never had to deal with this before. Ailidh was very sympathetic in terms of the sad nature of my enquiry and talked through each step and left me feeling that I was in very good hands indeed. Thank You!

First telephone contact with Ailidh Ballantyne following a bereavement and subsequent discussion on obtaining confirmation with regards to my Mothers estate. Call received as agreed and Ailidh was both professional and compassionate, guided me through what would be the probable steps in the process and what to expect to be sent on to me by email. At this the most difficult of times I felt under no pressure and reassured how things would progress.

Very helpful, knowledgeable and professional company, you provided great assurance and comfort that they could deal with our matters of dealing with the estate of my partner who had passed away recently. Ailidh Ballantyne was very well mannered, understanding, polite and professional on the initial phone call and clearly told myself exactly what the next steps were in order to move forward and get the outcome we wanted. Would have no problems recommending them to anyone based on my experience so far with them.
