Grant of Probate only service

Friendly, professional service from the start in dealing with an inheritance tax account and probate application on my behalf, as quoted, initially. Trusted recommendation of other local, professional services required to complete valuation/s and house clearance. I would recommend Heringtons in this regard, and plan to use their property department in the future for my related sale, based on this most recent experience.

So simple to do!

My wife and I had not paid attention to sorting out Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney. It seemed complicated and time consuming. How wrong we were - the process was simple, timely and straightforward. It was an important matter and it was simple for us to complete.

Sarah Clifton and her team handled the Probate matters relating to my late sister’s Will which also required the setting up of a Trust. She took me through the process step by step, was always available to answer my questions, and I had every confidence in her competence to arrive at a successful conclusion.I would thoroughly recommend her.
