This was a difficult exercise but Melode did very well.

Making our wills
After the decision to make a will- thank goodness we went to Howells & saw Melodie. She was so lovely, efficient, professional and very mindful while dealing with a very personal delicate subject. Very happy with the easy way the wills were done & I will highly recommend this firm and the way Melodie put us at ease and answered lots of questions putting us at ease. Thank you again for a wonderful service with the added bonus of a house visit.

Intelligent support
After the death of my husband, 3 years ago, I wanted to check that my will & lasting power of autorney were up to date & in order.
Melodie sensitively supported me through this process in a sympathetic & friendly manner.
I was treated with respect & offered assistance (by carrying my coffee cup ) making it possible to move around the reception area with dignity.
When I was unsure of the action to take with my financial matters I was given the time & oportunity to contact Melodie & speak to her direct.
I felt that I was treated as an intelligent adult with respect .
