Excellent advice and Service

I recently sought advice from Matthew Porter about my Will . Having researched the subject myself it was good to get Matthew’s expert knowledge and help to prepare the WILL for me. He answered all my questions including some tips on what I can do to make the probate easier for my family upon my demise. This level of professional advice gives my great peace of mind . So thank you.

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.
