    Writing a Will

    As I've stated far too expensive. I thought after being a regular client and less people in my will it would have been lower in price. I carried on with it because I just wanted my will out the way for personal reasons, so I did and do feel let down by Wollens.

    Excellent service

    We can't recommend Wollens highly enough. From the outset, they were outstanding — responding quickly whenever our circumstances changed, and always offering clear, sound professional advice. What stood out most was how well they worked alongside our other advisors; everything felt joined up rather than siloed. The whole team was responsive and pitched in to cover for one another when needed, so there was never a gap in service. Highly recommended.

    A big ‘thank you’ to Karen Miller and her secretary at the Barnstaple Office for all their efforts in sorting out  my late wife’s estate. I appreciate things have not been easy with one executor living in  Canada, the need to sort out a trust and my own inheritance tax position. I am grateful  for the prompt answers to any queries I had and the clarity of your replies.
