    My wife's estate and Probate

    Courteous, listened to what I believed I had to do, gave advice in a clear and professional manner and took time to explain professional ‘jargon’ in common sense terms. Very pleased I chose Forbes

    Advice and probate certificate

    Dealing with Elizabeth Whitaker at a time of confusion in my life as been one of the least troublesome issues. I was dealt with in a professional and courteous manner. I have already recommended Forbes to friends and colleagues. The honesty of the return funds makes the service I have received even more recommendable. Thank you for the professional manner in which I have been treated. Regards Peter Hodkinson

    Excellent client- centred service

    Forbes dealt with a particularly complex case for us at a difficult time of our lives during our mum’s illness and our subsequent loss. At no stage during a two year process did anyone at Forbes not show compassion, consideration and total empathy. We so appreciated Abigail, Natalie, Elizabeth and Jennifer and indeed anyone from the firm that we ever came into contact with. We highly recommend them for their proficiency, care and speed. Everything was carried out swiftly and mindfully and at no stage in any of it were we left questioning or wondering where the process was up to. We want to send a deep thanks to them all. The profession needs people like the staff at Forbes and we now know why our mum chose you. She was a very wise lady. Many thanks once more and we will always return to Forbes with any legal work in the future. Consummate and empathetic professionalism throughout.

    Estate Administration - beneficiaries from out of country

    My sister and I are not UK residents - one of us in the US and one of us in France. We employed Forbes and Elizabeth to administer the estate of our father - a UK resident. We appreciated being competently and effectively led through the process to a successful conclusion. We appreciated having a knowledgeable team deal with UK law and UK agencies. Thank you!
