I needed to talk about procedure of making my will. I found Anna really helpful and approachable.
A definite advantage is having parking at rear of the property as I am immobile at the moment.

Residential Nil Rate question
We reached out to Sills and Betteridge for a general discussion regarding my late father's will. Our meeting with Anna O'Mara was very informative; her depth of knowledge, empathy, and understanding made a significant difference. Anna's willingness to go the extra mile, such as researching the details of my late mother's residential nil rate band, exemplified her dedication to our concerns. We liked Anna's firm but fair attitude, and by the time the meeting ended, felt we had a advocate working on behalf of us, and most importantly, reassured.

Great. Explained everything clearly
We had put off sorting our wills etc as I knew it would likely be complicated. Often when things are complicated people can be patronising - Anna helped us above and beyond - she was very understanding and made sure without rushing us that we knew exactly what we needed. 5 star plus service. Thank you.

Excellent service
Anna O’Mara at Sills and Betteridge have just completed my late fathers will and I could not be more impressed. From the first call I made right through to completion has been professional, polite and also very rapid in dealing with any questions I had or issues that popped up along the way. I would definitely recommend Anna and her team to anyone that needs their help. All I’ve had to do is answer a few questions here and there and give them a few signatures and they have done everything else. This is how customer service should be and I cannot thank you enough. Keep up the good work and thanks again Ben.
