An excellent experience

Kate helped me and my partner prepare our wills. Both of us were hugely impressed by her expertise and attention to detail. She was always prompt with responses to questions, guiding us carefully through the process with clear explanations as needed. Beyond that, Kate was personable and understanding. She listened and addressed any concerns that we had, offering advice with warmth and empathy. We are absolutely satisfied, and delighted with our decision to engage this company.

Excellent service

Kate was extremely helpful dealing with my late mother's estate. As the executor of the estate I needed to change a number of things, Kate guided me through the process and dealt with all my questions very quickly. I have no hesitation in recommending Kate Rutherford.

Last Will & Testament

Kate was very thorough, understanding and dealt with my Last Will & Testament very efficiently. She explained everything in detail and was very compassionate. I would definitely use her services again and have already recommended her to others.

Excellent and personal service

We recently had wills drawn up by Kate Rutherford of Roskilly & Co. Kate is easy to talk to, a gifted communicator, is good at explaining legal jargon, and produced the finished documents extremely quickly. It seems that gone are the days when you would instruct a solicitor and then wait a few weeks for the follow up to happen! We are extremely satisfied with the service we have had from Kate and would certainly recommend her services.
