John & Hazel unusual will
Michael was excellent in doing an unusual will for us, he put in place things to cover us that we hadn't thought of and explained everything in a way that we could understand . Why go anywhere else .
Thank you .

Sandra and Rod's Will
As well as the people (and pets) we love, we agree there are just two other entities after death: one, our reputation or influence; two, our estate as represented in the Last Will and Testament. So, making a will is one of the most important things to do whilst we are happily on our feet. Now in our 70’s, we needed to revise our wills, written over 30 years ago and not corresponding to our current priorities. We have two adult daughters but also a steady trickle of our own health issues. Naturally, our needs will surely change, so we wanted to be proactive. This year, the costs of care are between £1,500 and £2,000 per week for the last few years of life. Reasonably, we want to preserve our estate in our survivors’ best interests. Absolutely impressed with Wadworths’ solicitor Gemma Dempsey, conveyancing our new house, we knew where to come. Our solicitor, Michael Wadsworth, clearly explained the circumstances where Property Trust Wills would be relevant and he emailed us a helpful brochure. He described our options and avoided telling us what to do. Immediately apparent to us, this ace solicitor listened carefully and then immediately and accurately reflected our wishes. Mike prepared perfect draft documents, for collection, within an astonishing couple of days. Really helpful, he also wrote an easy-to-understand synopsis, making it easier to grasp the formal language of our wills. Throughout, we found Mike to be respectful, equal and straightforward to understand. In less than two weeks, we were back in his office signing our precious documents. Mike is charming company and this is a perfect outcome for us and a very pleasant experience. Wadsworths Solicitors is completely professional, highly approachable and trustworthy.

One very satisfied client.
Due to the loss of a number of elderly relatives since 2017 I have had regular dealings with Wadsworth's over the last 6 years. Covid made a difficult situation worse with the death of my mother whilst all the restrictions were still in place. I feel very fortunate to have engaged a company who not only acted on my behalf but, went the extra mile in showing empathy, understanding and kindness at a time when everyone was feeling the pressure. The whole thing has been a very drawn our affair due to the circumstances but all the staff I've had dealings with have been very professional and the communication has been excellent. During the last twelve months I have been dealing with Victoria Wadsworth who has recently concluded the business on behalf of myself and my family so, very many thanks to you Victoria.

Michael, Victoria and Gemma dealt with lasting power of attorney, probate and execution of the wills of my late parents and the sale of the family home in their estate.

Update of Wills
We revisited Michael Wadsworth to update our existing Wills. Once again from the initial greeting in Reception, our experience was very welcoming and dealt with in a very professional and efficient manner.
Michael always makes you feel very comfortable and his explanations are easy to understand. Nothing is too much trouble; we didn’t feel rushed during our appointment and he ensured that all our questions were answered.
We also used Wadsworth a few years ago to deal with Probate. Once again, the same efficient professional service was given by all the Team.
