Broad knowledge of will writing, sympathetic delivery.
Personable and professional engagement, well versed in the field of writing wills and execution of estate to beneficiaries (raising aspects that had not been considered). Always prompt in response and was sensitive/empathetic to a delicate situation. Would recommend Karen to anyone writing a will or bare trust.

Wills & Probate Services
Geoffrey Leaver Solicitors dealt with my late mothers estate, obtaining Grant of Probate and assisting of the estate. They explained costs, timelines and kept me informed. They also drew up my Will. I would not hesitate to recommend Geoffrey Leaver Solicitors, and thank Karen Shakespeare for all her professional help with these matters.

Grant of Probate
Karen was extremely helpful, friendly & professional in dealing with my father in law’s estate. The Grant of Probate has now been received within the timescales advised by her at the outset.

Restored my faith!
Karen from Geoffrey Leaver rescued me from my previous solicitor, who was less than satisfactory in approach and content of work. Karen was very friendly, accommodating and responsive. Nothing was too much trouble and I feel I have at last found a solicitor I can trust. She also has a wealth of knowledge and helped me to understand the legal terminology I was unfamiliar with. Overall a 5 star service.
