Comments of Jeganmohan Subramaniam

4

I would like to add some comments to the negative review of Hazel French which do not accurately summarise the situation. The deceased was required to make a death-bed will which was skillfully handled by Hazel French and her colleagues. I am a relative who was consulted by the deceased in these arrangements. Mr Jeganmohan was residing and working in Saudi Arabia for a few years up until recently and the other executor is abroad a lot for work. As such there has been no cohesion between the two to wind up the estate as there is still property in the name of the deceased coming up almost 4 years since death. Ad a result of this the estate cannot be wound up and this is nothing to do with Hazel or her firm. It is therefore wrong in my view to try and blame the reason for all delay to Hazel French.
