Wills, Trusts & Probate

probate

David Feakins was recommended by a local accountant to handle the probate for our Mum and he was great ! David was clear, concise and commercial. Approachable and patient . He kept us informed throughout and made the process easy . His easy style and sound knowledge has led my family to use Burkett Long via David in other areas for work and advice on legal issues.

Excellent service

I came to Birkett long to get lasting power of attorney advice. Something I think we all put off as it seems a daunting prospect. David enabled this process to be very straight forward. He explained every step in a clear way using terminology that I could understand. David had a manner which immediately put me at ease but was also very professional.

Great work!

It was great working with David. Writing your Will is something you don't always want to think about, but David was great in giving clear advice and made the process as simple as possible. Thanks again.

Land Registry

David Feakins kept me updated throughout a very long process of registering my mother's house on the land register. Although it was frustrating that Tendering District Council had a back log of 18 months, David did inform me at the start it could be 12-18 months to get this completed.
