My Will and POA

Making a will was necessary for me because I have a large family and I was worried that it would be very complicated to compose.
However my fears were unfounded as Gard & Co. have given me an excellent service where everything was dealt with quickly and efficiently in a friendly and pleasant way.
A special mention of Llinos Lewis who saw me on several occasions and was especially helpful in advising me how to proceed.
My experience at Gard & Co was very positive and I would certainly use their services again.

fast efficient conveyancing.

After selling our house, I began searching for local solicitors to obtain a quote. Gard & Co called me straight away and was immediately professional, providing an instant quote. We chose Karen as our conveyancer, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She has been incredibly efficient in everything she has done, promptly responding whenever we had questions. Despite living a couple of hours away, the distance was never an issue, as everything was managed seamlessly via email and post. I would not hesitate to use their services again for any legal matters in the future. A huge thank you to Karen and the team for doing such a fantastic job! I managed to complete the process in around 2 months, whereas the average is currently 3 to 4 months. I am thrilled!
Fantastic work!!!

We used Gard & Co for the recent sale of our house and subsequent move to a new home . This is the 2nd time that we have used this company . We cannot recommend them highly enough for their professionalism and for keeping us informed with regular updates when appropriate . We would especially like to thank Anthony and Catherine for their continual communication and support during the whole process .

Glenn Sambells has recently assisted me with my late fathers estate and I can honestly say Glenn's approach in dealing with matters was both professional as well as sympathetic helping to make this difficult time more manageable. I would not hesitate in recommending Glenn to all of my friends and family.
