Great Service
The whole process was relaxed and friendly the whole way through. Everything was explained in detail and we were made to feel in control. Value for money was great and the rates were far better than the local competition.

Probate
I am very grateful to Ames Kent for all their help with my late parent's Wills, and am especially thankful to Katherine from the moment I contacted her. She was nothing but knowledgeable, helpful and gave me excellent advice regarding probate. I had no idea what to do and she guided me through it in a considerate and efficient manner.

Updating Will
I have always found the staff friendly and helpful and always find time to answer even the simplest of queries. They have the most efficient manner (non official) and are very comfort making to the client.

Power of Attorney
Ames Kent are very professional at all levels and once again have guided me through matters I was naive to. They always act with integrity and professionalism. They have always been on the end of the phone if I needed reassurance. Since finalising my affairs I feel a sense of achievement and empowerment. I would always use Ames Kent.

Grant of Probate
Once again we have received a timely and professional service from Ames Kent. They have acted for our family since the 1960's, and we see no reason to change.

First Class Service
Katherine provided a first class service during the Will making process. Everything was explained, and the whole process was very quick and painless. I have already recommended Ames Kent to another member of the family who wishes to make a Will.
