Estate Administration of my late cousin

I would like to say a big thank you to the staff I was in contact with at Churchers during the administration of my late cousins estate. A special thank you to Lauren McIntosh for her help and kindness to my cousin during her life.

Making of Wills and PoA with Lauren

Making the appointment was very easy and flexible. There was also the kind offer from Lauren to meet us in the Waterlooville office, which is closer to our home, although we did not take Lauren up on this kind offer. The appointment was not rushed and all options and legalities of the will and the PoA were explained clearly and in a way that was easy to understand.

Outstanding service, competent and caring

We had consulted several solicitors about wills and LPoAs (Lasting Power of Attorneys). We felt frustrated with the lack of continuity, the work was done by solicitors who were not partners and that meant we were at the receiving end of high turnovers plus mergers and acquisitions. We were ‘moved’ to new people who would now look after us, a situation we found neither appealing nor acceptable. It all changed when we were recommended Churchers, when Lauren McIntosh took us under her wing. We had an initial meeting to make sure the chemistry was right – and we quickly felt that we had come to the right person. What we like about Lauren: she is an excellent listener, she asks questions without making you feel uncomfortable, she explains consequences and implications in a way that cuts through the legal jargon and she has a brilliant sense of humour. We never felt patronized or judged, she helped us to get the best solution for our needs. We feel that we are treated as individuals with individual requirements and needs, she cares about her clients. Lasting Power of Attorneys can be daunting – you make decisions which make you look ahead to situations (losing capacity) which you hope will never occur – but putting these documents in place added so much to our peace of mind. Once you get these eventualities sorted, you can get on enjoying life. Lauren added so much value, she raised topics we had not considered and she worked hard to ensure we got what is right for us. Lauren was an excellent choice for us, we have recommended her many times and we are happy to do so again.

Creating a new will

Lauren very kindly helped with creating my will. She explained everything in a way I could understand and answered every question I had. Highly professional and very friendly. I would certainly recommend Lauren and Churchers.
