Probate services

Ashtons were extremely responsive to all our requests at a difficult time and gave thorough, cogent advice on how to proceed. They completed their work in the timescales that they said they would achieve, on budget. The process was smooth and lifted a great weight from our minds.

Application for Probate

Louise Cardwell and her team dealt with my father's probate with great efficiency, speed and empathy. It's always a difficult time when one loses a parent and has to deal with the legal matters associated with a death whilst grieving the loss. Louise was extremely well supported by Harriet Richardson, her trainee legal executive who I believe to have a great future in the law!

I have used this law firm under a different Name many years ago ( Ashton and Graham ) . I returned to Ashton’s after I met the team at the Marina Festival last summer. I used the services of the life planning department and the associate Louise to update wills and LPA’s. My wife and I found the Parking easy and the team are professional and trustworthy. We were very happy with Louise and found her to be very knowledgable in her legal area. Having used legal teams in London and Bury St Edmunds I will stick to this firm from now on and provide more work for the firm knowing they can take care of it in a timely manner. Thanks for the service.
