Making a Will

From the first meeting through to the signing of our will we could not fault the service from Wolferstans. From the receptionists to the solicitor all the staff are very welcoming, polite and professional. They pride themselves on being a family business. Our solicitor listened to our wishes and guided us through the whole procedure, to give us a will that fits our circumstances perfectly.

Excellent support at a difficult time

Gemma Smith and the team at the Plymouth North Hill branch provided us with invaluable support and advice following my mother's death. This enabled us to manage at a time when our minds were struggling to cope with a lot at once. Gemma effectively lightened our load by supporting us through applying for probate, which happened remarkably quickly. Their professionalism and advice was very much appreciated.
