Will Writing

From initial contact, Matthew was first class. We went through the will writing step by step and we were made to feel comfortable talking about a very delicate topic. A draft copy was sent very quickly and the whole process including witnessing signatures was very professionally done. Would be even better if you were offered a drink on arrival. Overall we were very satisfied and we would highly recommend. Great service at a reasonable price. Thanks Matthew.

Started process of selling joint owned home with Kate and later all business was passed to Nadine. We also had dealing with Matthew who completed his part of the process satisfactorily. Nadine picked everything up well and was very good at keeping us informed by e-mail/phone although we did notice the on-line progress checker was not updated.
