Wills, Trusts & Probate

probate not done.17\04\2023 - 31\12\2024 still waiting.

Don't use them for probate or will related, they take advantage of the situation. 2yrs still no closer to probate. Billed me for them calling a wrong number, billed me for them writing to wrong address, billed me twice for a clerical error on their part. Still no probate sorted. Take advantage of you grieving for lost ones. Save your money and find a better solicitor.

Just don't

Do some homework. Read reviews before hiring this firm. I wish I had. I hired them to deal with a probate case and they lost the will.

We had a very happy experience with Buckles. Vicky dealt with probate for my Dad's estate and did so in a very efficient way, working around some time constraints on my side, and was extremely helpful in guiding me through my responsibilities as executor and answering my many questions. I have nothing but positive things to say about that.

Hi Mike, Thank you for leaving us a 5* review. I will pass your comments on to Vicky. Sophie (Marketing Executive)

Buckles managed to sort out a bank problem after my Mum died, they were very professional, up front with the costs, kept me up to date with the process and got the job done with a successful outcome. My Mum lived in Tenerife and I had been trying to get this sorted out for two years, Buckles were recommended to me as they experts in dealing with inheritance from overseas.

We had the pleasure of working with Julia at the Peterborough branch of Buckles, and we are absolutely delighted with the service she provided. Julia made the process of creating our wills straightforward and understandable, taking the time to carefully explain everything and answer all our questions. Her attention to detail and thorough approach gave us confidence that everything was in good hands. What impressed us most was Julia’s willingness to offer thoughtful advice and go above and beyond in ensuring we had considered every aspect of our plans. We truly felt that she had our best interests at heart. We highly recommend Julia for anyone seeking professional, reliable legal services—she’s an outstanding solicitor

European estate planing

Extremely poor service. We sought advice from them as the said the were experts in cross boarder matters. It quickly became clear that they were not. We sought advice on the question of Brussels 4 and not once were they prepared to address the question. The only time it was mentioned was to say they couldn't address it without a fee. We paid the fee to find out they had no idea wanted to ask our french notaires for advice. We asked for a refund which was refused. Now we have to proceed to ombudsman and failing that small claims court. This is a pint of principles and I refuse to back down until I get a full refund. Avoid this firm.

Sarah was invaluable in helping our company acquire a new premise in Bristol. I had no idea what to expect with a commercial/business lease so having Sarah there to help me every step of the way was insightful and a massive relief. She was very thorough and always had our best interests at heart. I would not hesitate to recommend her and Buckles Law to anyone regarding commercial legal advice.
