Trust fund

I went to the company for advice on the legal aspects of setting up Trust for a relative as part of an estate. The advice and clear instructions enable the process to be begun without any delay

Will compilation with Tozers

My wife and I engaged Tozers when compiling our Wills and received a first class service from them. Staff were courteous and listened carefully to our wishes, additionally providing appropriate information and advice where deemed appropriate. We would certainly recommend Tozers to others.

Advice for IHT and probate I needed

I needed advice concerning my deceased wife's will as there was a limited company, partnership and trust involved. From the information I was able to provide prior to our meeting and what I was able to give on the day I was pleased with the advice given. I have to find some information and have a deed written up to satisfy my requirements.

We had a relatively short time to prepare and execute new Wills which Grainne embraced and together we managed to complete the process smoothly and efficiently before travelling. She also pointed out one or two flaws in our existing Wills structure and intent completed over 5 years ago which we were pleased to be made aware of and corrected.

Wills, Trusts and Probate

This is a very professional firm to deal with, and I am completely happy with the work they did for me. The advice and care they took to make sure that my interests were protected was very impressive. Grainne Staunton could not have been more helpful and professional and really made me think about what I wanted to do with regards to my will. She went above and beyond to cover all outcomes, and challenged me (nicely) over my starting intentions and preferences. I would recommend her unreservedly. Also Sophie Palk was an excellent colleague to work with, with nothing being too much trouble. Her professional, efficient and friendly way of communicating with me was refreshing. Everyone was a pleasure to deal with and I am 100% confident that I have had the advice I needed.
