Wills, Trusts & Probate

I would happily recommend them to anybody else.

I used Warners to obtain Probate for my mother's estate. Mary Shaw and her assistant solicitor Aneesha Dhami were unfailing helpful and courteous and were very easy to work with. I was provided with a realistic estimate of how long everything would take, they always responded promptly to emails and phone messages. Everything they sent me was clearly set out; anything legal that I didn't understand was explained; and the fees at the end were very reasonable: overall I couldn't have had a better experience.
