Excellent service in connection with wills and LPAs

5

From beginning to end the team of Clara Staunton and Hannah Owens were first class. They were particularly helpful in our first meeting, progressed our requirements promptly and kept us informed. Completion was in part delayed by dilatoriness on our part and more particularly by the OPG in registering LPAs.

Probate Review

Clara helped me through the process of probate and the settlement of the estate in a very
professional way and kept me in touch with issues as the arose.

The level of communication throughout the process was very good and the whole process was dealt with in a very efficient manner.
