Excellent advice and support through a difficult time

I felt I could place the whole process in a safe pair of hands, while still feeling involved. At a difficult time, newly widowed, this was beyond price.

Impressed

First met Samantha at an event she was hosting at our son's SEN School. Very impressed with the information she shared and as a result, decided to use her for our Wills and Disability Trust. Service has been excellent from start to finish and will be using Wolferstans again.

Samantha Buckthought and her team were very sensitive, professional and friendly in dealing with matters that we all put off doing. Their understanding and legal explanations as to all parts of the above were excellent. I feel as if I now have 'all my ducks in a row' for my two sons and their families. I cannot stress enough how good Wolferstans are.

I have recently had support from Sam Buckthought with regards to disolving my late father's Lifetime Interest Trust. Sam was professional but personable, knowledgeable, efficient and responsive to all of my itty bitty queries. I have truly felt I was in safe hands having her handle this peice of work. I would thoroughly recommend Sam and as a result will be asking Sam to set up a Will for me. Thank you to Sam and Patrice, who has also been an asset to Wolferstans.
