    We used Harrowells to write up and register my wife and my Wills and Lasting Power of Attorney for both Property and Financial Affairs and Health and Wellbeing. We were both very pleased with the efficiency and timing to complete and how Natalie kept us up to date - we would recommend to friends going forward.

    Highly Recommended for Service & Professionalism

    A special thanks to Amaya Huntly and Executor and Team for your unwavering dedication and hard work that they put in. Despite the long journey and numerous challenges, and many obstacles, the successful outcome has made it all worthwhile. I genuinely appreciate all your efforts and diligence and all your hard work😊. Your guidance and thorough explanations have been invaluable, and I deeply appreciate your professionalism and trusted expertise. Your kind words today were greatly appreciated! I will still require Harrowell's guidance through Rebecca Jennings for the Options Agreement in the New Year 2025, and will pay the Licence to change the agreement documents once the funds are cleared. I continued to use Harrowells for the past 38 years plus, from my late grandmother's estate in 2008, 2010, to my late parents' estate in 2024, and in the past, buying and selling my houses, wills, etc. Their professionalism outshone every time, and they were honest, fair, and provided value for money. Thank you, Amaya, for everything and for all your hard work 💗🙂. I could have done this without you and the team at Harrowells. Thank you for all your support, professionalism, etc. Amaya Huntly, my solicitor for my late parents' estate, and Ed Ryder, the Executor, are best. Also, the team that supports them, Amaya and Ed, are fantastic and unwavering in their hard work and their professionalism at all times. I greatly appreciate all your help. Thank you, Amaya, I could not have done any of this without you!. Thank you 😊 💓 Definitely first-class solicitors! Words cannot explain how thankful I am for all the help!
