This is the second time my husband and I have dealt with Whitehead Monckton, and Kate Broadfield. Both experiences have been good. We felt positive about the whole process. Although we know we could have our Wills updated at a cheaper cost through other methods, we felt that it was worth the cost to have so well professionally organised.

Thank you very much team for the prompt assistance in the making of my will during Covid-19. It wasn’t a task I wanted to address at this time, more of a must. Very professional and efficient. Painless, in fact. Thank you

We were highly recommended to use Whitehead Monckton, and we were not disappointed. The pre-meeting information sent was very useful, the meeting with the Solicitor was professional and effective. There were no delays to the process and we were very satisfied with the Wills we developed with the great help of the Solicitor

We were recommended Whitehead Monckton to deal with our non standard Wills requirements. We were dealt with professionally and efficiently, and our Wills were drafted speedily. No amendments were needed as solicitor immediately understood our needs. The costs were advised in advance and there were no hidden charges. We would highly recommend.
