Sandra and Rod's Will

5

As well as the people (and pets) we love, we agree there are just two other entities after death: one, our reputation or influence; two, our estate as represented in the Last Will and Testament. So, making a will is one of the most important things to do whilst we are happily on our feet. Now in our 70’s, we needed to revise our wills, written over 30 years ago and not corresponding to our current priorities. We have two adult daughters but also a steady trickle of our own health issues. Naturally, our needs will surely change, so we wanted to be proactive. This year, the costs of care are between £1,500 and £2,000 per week for the last few years of life. Reasonably, we want to preserve our estate in our survivors’ best interests. Absolutely impressed with Wadworths’ solicitor Gemma Dempsey, conveyancing our new house, we knew where to come. Our solicitor, Michael Wadsworth, clearly explained the circumstances where Property Trust Wills would be relevant and he emailed us a helpful brochure. He described our options and avoided telling us what to do. Immediately apparent to us, this ace solicitor listened carefully and then immediately and accurately reflected our wishes. Mike prepared perfect draft documents, for collection, within an astonishing couple of days. Really helpful, he also wrote an easy-to-understand synopsis, making it easier to grasp the formal language of our wills. Throughout, we found Mike to be respectful, equal and straightforward to understand. In less than two weeks, we were back in his office signing our precious documents. Mike is charming company and this is a perfect outcome for us and a very pleasant experience. Wadsworths Solicitors is completely professional, highly approachable and trustworthy.

Michael, Victoria and Gemma dealt with lasting power of attorney, probate and execution of the wills of my late parents and the sale of the family home in their estate. It was a sad time for the family but throughout they were friendly, approachable and very professional. I can’t thank them enough and would recommend them without hesitation

Brilliant service

5

Gemma dealt with our sale and purchase and took all stress away handling agents and third parties. The entire process from offer to moving was 11 weeks which was much faster than anticipated which was down to Gemma’s speed and accuracy dealing with all enquiries.
Have also used Wadsworth in the past for our Wills and would definitely recommend and use again in any future need. Thank you

Would Recommend Gemma Dempsey and Wadsworths in a heartbeat

5

Gemma Dempsey was fantastic throughout a very drawn out and frustrating time whilst sold our old and bought our new home.
The lower chain really held things up with their choice of online conveyancers, but Gemma had everything ready really quickly.
Gemma would often respond to any emails or phone calls we sent or made to her within minutes and when I wasn't sure of things, she clearly communicated in a way I could understand. There were several occasions where I asked her about something raised by our lower chain, but she'd already sorted it before I had even got in touch.
When things got tense and our upwards chain threatened to pull out, she politely but firmly fought our corner and saved us from more stress.

Gemma and Wadsworths are fantastic solicitors. Me and my wider family have used them for conveyancing, and other services such as will writing and processing following deaths and they've been efficient and professional, whilst also very friendly to deal with.
