Wills

I used Ashtons Legal for my Will. They were professional, efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. They gave clear and practical advice and I would use them again.

Package of Wills/trust/taxation, etc

I and my Trustees were very satisfied with our dealings with Ashtons except for very slow progress at times. I believe that pandemic/covid and the VERY slow reactions of Government bodies were the main causes of delays at times. Rebecca Dixon very pleasant to deal with.
