LPA Application
My LPA application was in relation to my 101 year old mother. Even at her advanced age, her mental capabilities are remarkable, but age has reduced her physical abilities - so hence the need for an LPA.
From my initial enquiry/discussion I received all relevant details with patience, courtesy and also in a friendly manner. Sympathetic interviews with my mother were carried out - always in a friendly way. The outcome is that the LPA has now been completed and registered the O.P.G. I am happy to endorse Howe & Spender.

Lasting Power of Attorney
I have dealt with this firm of Solicitors over many years and they have never failed me and I have always received very good solid advice. I would recommend them to anyone and I am sure their advice and guidance on whatever the problem would be knowledgeable and sensible.

Will and Testament drawn up
Our first Will and Testament was discussed with Ian Spender who answered all of our questions without hesitation or time restraint. We had quite a few questions to be fair! His knowledge, understanding, guidance and experience was invaluable and gave us the confidence to make informed decisions. Sharon Hopkins was professional from start to finish. She has a wonderful manner which again instilled us with confidence and put us at our ease. There was no pressure and we were given the time and opportunity to reevaluate and make sure our final decision was the right one. We do not hesitate to recommend this firm and indeed I have already done so.
