Wills, Trusts & Probate

You must have a will !

Its tempting to delay making a will but failing to do so will land your family with a lot of trouble and worry at a time when they least can cope with it. Wills are like fingerprints, similar in many ways, but the devil is in the details. Ours didn’t have too many complications but to make the right choices we needed clear, practical advice. Sarah was able to supply this and draft wills were posted soon after our consultation meeting. A couple of phone calls cleared up the finer points and we were given a choice of appointment times to call in the Longfield office for signature and witnessing. A week later we received the electronic and paper copies and the assurance that the originals will be filed in the Tolhurst facility. There was also a leaflet on Lasting Power of Attorney, another necessary thing to attend to in later life. We are studying this and will certainly return to this company in the near future

My Late Wife's Estate.

Both my late wife and I have dealt with Sarah Begley over a number of years, commencing with my Mother's estate back in 2015. Sarah, has been a great help, explaining the various issues that arise, such as estate implementation and will drafting very clearly and professionally. She also manages to respond to any queries in a prompt and courteous manner. Many thanks, Sarah, for your considerable help.

I worked with Sarah Begley for a probate matter, and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. She was incredibly compassionate throughout the entire process, patiently guiding us through each step to get the letters of administration granted. Her professionalism and clear expertise in this field were evident at every stage. If you’re looking for a solicitor experienced in wills and probate who genuinely cares about her clients, Sarah is an excellent choice.

Sarah Begley at Martin Tolhurst handled my late Mum's Probate. She is very approachable and friendly, and the whole process was fast, efficient and stress free. She obtained Probate for us in less than 3 weeks. I would highly recommend this firm of solicitors.

I have been a client of Martin Tolhurst solicitors for many years, which is testament to them in itself. Whether it’s conveyancing or more personal legal issues including Wills and bereavement or anything else legal, they have always delivered their services with the highest regard to our needs. Always communicating with us the latest progress and keeping us informed of what they need from us, and just keeping us well informed of the current progress of the case. They have always assigned us a single point of contact, case co-ordinator, which greatly improves the service I can imagine. I can thoroughly recommend Martin Tolhurst Solicitors for all or any of your legal needs. Many thanks 🙏🏼
