New Wills & Power of Attorney
We were grateful for the support and guidance throughout the process of creating new Wills for each of us and also creating the Power of Attorney procedures for our family. All of this was done in our own home as a result of our current limited mobility and was a considerable help. Amanda was very good throughout the whole process and clearly appreciated a change in family circumstances resulted in our need to change existing Wills and she was able to give us all the help and advice we needed.

I found it quite a daunting task to start the process of writing our Will. I researched companies, and liked the feel of Frances Lindsay & Co. family minded, appealing website and the reviews were great.
My appointment was with Amanda Chivers, I instantly felt at ease and was able to discuss openly what was not a straightforward Will for both my husband and myself.
She gave me excellent knowledgeable advice not only legal but personal to suit our family. she discussed every option and scenario that cold crop up in the future, things that you don't necessarily think about or imagine. She guided us both painlessly through the process. It was a pleasure to deal with her.
I could tick all the boxes of her being friendly, approachable, professional, knowledgeable, acted with integrity, straightforward, honest, she was all of these things which enabled us to get the most important thing for us, she fully understood exactly what we wanted and executed it perfectly into our Wills.
The quote for the Wills was accurate and good value for money.
All other communication and dealings with other staff in the company were helpful, approachable and friendly.
I would definitely use Frances Lindsay & Co. again and would highly recommend them.

Stewart helped my partner and I with witnessing some documents for an upcoming remortgage. I called in the morning to make the enquiry, and the job was done and dusted by lunchtime that day.
Everyone I had contact with (both Stewart, and the front desk) was polite, professional and extremely knowledgeable. Stewart took the time to explain the documents and requirements in layman's terms, which we found invaluable and reassuring.
I would certainly recommend Stewart at Frances Lindsay, and wouldn't hesitate to use the business going forward for future business.

I contacted Francis Lindsay as I needed some legal advice and wasn’t sure where to start. The fact they offer a free 45-minute consultation is incredible, being able to understand your options without worrying about the cost before you’ve even started takes such a weight off, and removes a barrier to taking the right action.
I met with Stewart Henderson who immediately put me at ease. He listened to my issue and outlined what needed to be done and where he could help. He provided me with various options and some guidance and templates if I wanted to complete things myself.
I instructed Stewart to handle my case and he was exceptional throughout. His communication was brilliant and he approached everything with pragmatism, kindness and professionalism. I am hugely appreciative of all the work he put in, he made a potentially stressful and confusing process seem relatively straight-forward.

One of the best decisions I made this year was to work with Stewart Henderson from Frances and Lindsay. Stewart was an incredible advocate for me as I navigated sensitive discussions for the first time. I was able to trust Stewart completely throughout the process and he made it easy with incredible knowledge& experience, and prompt and detailed responses.
You want Stewart on your team!
