    Complex Will

    I approached Warners in Tonbridge to supply me a complex Will. I chose Warners as I had used them in 2019 to help me buy a home and found them very professional. Again they provided me with informed advice and suggestions, this time to supply me with a Will suitable for resolving my complex issues. The Will was not cheap, but Kate Barker explained the charges initially and gave an estimated range of the likely charges I would incur. My Will now includes a trust to come into force. If you want a Will that costs very little you probably should look elsewhere, unless it is very simple. The final costs fell within the range Kate Barker advised at the outset, and which I agreed to. I enjoyed discussing the options and accepting advice from Kate Barker and Warners, supported by Kelly with her admin skills.

    Excellent professional advice

    We have been very happy with the advice and service from Warners when needing to rewrite our Wills. They were able to offer online communication as we are not local and this all worked smoothly.

    Drafting of wills - great experience with Warners

    Warners were very professional and talked us through the options and recommendations for how the wills should be set up. They were clear and happy to explain any points we needed clarity on. It felt a simple process and one that was concluded fairly quickly. We would definitely use them again for any legal matters.
