    RUTH ROUND

    We have been dealing with Ruth for the last 12 months and she has kept us informed of every aspect of my late cousins will and estate whether it was by post or personal phone calls.He has been so professional in explaining everything in detail thus taking a lot of pressure off ourselves. We will miss her immensely but would not hesitate to use her again and recommend any one to use her services.

    Administration and handling of the late Barbara Stokes Estate

    It was quite a large estate having many different types of investments including a property. To me it seemed to be quite a daunting proposition but on meeting Ruth back in 2023, I found her very professional but also approachable. All questions I asked were answered promptly and efficiently which gave me confidence that everything was being dealt with correctly. Overall as co executor of the estate I can happily say that Ruth’s handling of what was quite a large and messy (to me) estate took a lot of pressure off the whole process. As my family has had dealing with Higgs for many many years I can honestly say I ham happy with your standard of service and would recommend anyone to use your company.

    Ruth was a pleasure to deal with, professional but made the process easy to understand without us having to ask what was the meaning of that legal term.

    Estate administration

    Ruth recently supported my family in managing the administration of my late Grandmother’s estate. From the first meeting to completion, I found her to be extremely professional and felt reassured that matters were being dealt with correctly. I was kept updated on progress with regular communication from her. I knew she was just a phone call/email away to answer any questions/queries I had and always received a response without delay. Ruth explained things clearly so that I had a good understanding of the process throughout, having never been in this situation before. I am very pleased with the service provided by Ruth and the wider team and would have no hesitation in using Higgs LLP in future should the need arise. I would highly recommend to others and take comfort in knowing that my Grandmother entrusted the firm throughout her later years to ensure her affairs were dealt with properly when the time came.
