We needed Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney (for both property and finance, and health and Welfare) and a Disabled Persons Trust. After extensive research we chose Philip Warford at Renaissance Legal for his relevant professional qualifications and his reputation and work with families and carers of disabled and vulnerable individuals. His knowledge, understanding and clear explanations were invaluable in helping us to make sometimes complicated decisions, and to put in place plans for the future, with confidence.

Renaissance were recommended to me by previous solicitor, as she was leaving her old firm, Franklins, and they would no longer no longer able to give the sort of attention, particulary to the Trust, that I had set up for my disabled son.
Renaissance was able to take over all my existing business including Wills, Trusts and POAs, and were diligent in the process.
They have ket me up to date throughout the whole process.

This was done from my home for my twins to inherit our property and continue living there. Communication was good and the firm provided a complete legal service including acting as Executor,Trustees and Financial LPA. Advice was clear and knowledgeable regarding disability issues.

Guidance and support

5

This was something I had put off doing for years, so glad now that I have everything in place with the help and guidance and support given, which I now realised I should of done along time ago, as it was all straight forward and a lot less stressful than I imagined. I now have peace of mind, thank you so much.

Impressed from start to finish

5

We have been very impressed from start to finish. Our situation was well-understood and we were guided to make solid decisions. Without the input from Philip we would have made costly mistakes and not have properly prepared for our daughters future. With Renaissance Legal we could see that attention to detail and the courtesy of responding to clients is paramount.

In safe hands

We felt in safe hands, working with people who understand issues faced by parents of a young person with disabilities. A very professional service. The Trust is there and you know you are listened to and can leave the experts to sort out the relevant legal documents. A relief in our world!

As a person with Autism it is hard to get people to listen and respect my wishes. Philip did both. Thank you for helping do my Will and Lasting Powers of Attorney. It has put me at ease about my future.

After attending a Mencap 'Planning for the Future' webinar, presented by Philip Warford of Renaissance Legal, we felt confident enough to go ahead and use Renaissance to set up a Disabled Persons Trust for our son. Philip Warford proceeded to guide us through the whole process, putting us at ease through his wealth of knowledge and expertise in this area.

During our virtual meeting with Philip, he explained things clearly and precisely and answered all of our questions. Our emails were responded to promptly and all documents were prepared in a timely manner. We are so relieved to have peace of mind now with regard to our disabled Son’s future and have no hesitation in highly recommending Philip and his colleagues at Renaissance Legal.

I first met Philip at my house when my Wife was first diagnosed with Early onset Alzheimers Disease. He gave us some very good sound advice on a few financial matters.
When my Wife passed away, just over two years ago I went back to Philip and he put me onto Gina in the Company to sort out my Wife's Probate. She did an extremely great job in dealing with it and, well worth every penny spent with her.
Thank you Gina.

Renaissance Legal have been brilliant. We had a zoom meeting with Philip Warford which gave us the chance to talk through our particular situation and to receive invaluable advice. We discussed new wills, letters of wishes and a family trust all of which were very carefully written up for us. Everything was explained in detail and questions were answered promptly. We felt very well taken care of and would recommend Renaissance Legal highly.
