Gard & Co

Instructing solicitor to make new Last Will & Testament - or The Will - prefer former. Delays, misspellings, sloppy formatting - blame computer - 'lost' emails. Eventually signed/witnessed. Copy sent was a sorry excuse for a photocopy which was not carefully placed so some words were missing and some blurred. Too late realised that 2 items which were discussed - and on earlier originals presented to solicitor - were not included. I will either have to include in Letter of Wishes or add a codicil. Letter to solicitor conveyed my overall displeasure and much later a new copy of 'The Will' arrived - photocopy again - with reply that barely said 'My apologies for the inconvenience', ignoring remarks about missing items. Not a good experience. Regretfully, will most likely not use this company again despite earlier dealings (conveyancing) being very good. ('Select professional' does not list this solicitor)

Excellent service , professional and user friendly.

My partner and I needed to put our Wills in place. From my initial contact with GARD & CO until the completion of our Wills I could not rate the Company or its Team more highly. Throughout the Will process we dealt with Bethany Spencer. She was meticulous, professional and very personable. A pleasure to deal with

I would like to thank Jane Gilding of Gard & Co. I needed to re-write my Will following my recent bereavement. From my initial contact until receiving my completed Will, I felt that I was in really competent hands. I had been a bit anxious about things, but Jane put me at my ease and explained everything clearly to me. Jane didn't mind me asking her some basic questions about things I didn't completely understand. There were things I did need explaining regarding my late husband's Will Trust. I felt that Jane really cared, and that I wasn't 'just another client'. It was a pleasure to do business with Jane, and should I need advice in the future I will definitely contact her again. May I also thank her Legal Assistant (I think her name is Vittoria), who was very helpful and efficient. '

Although we live abroad Ruben was very accommodating and arranged a video call to discuss the redrafting of our wills. All subsequent correspondence was clear and timely. We are very pleased with the service offered.

The team at Gard & Co have been great to work with in dealing with Dad's estate. I had never done anything like this before. Jane gave clear guidance on the probate side, so that the full service was not needed. She handled just the strictly legal aspect which reduced costs. I don't feel that adding another layer to processes would have made things simpler. However the comprehensive service is available for anyone who is very worried. Jodie and Michelle dealt with the property side as a separate item and everything went as well as it could , despite some delays and issues with the buyers funding and some legal processes. I would highly recommend Gard & Co to anyone dealing with probate or a property sale. ( I am sure a purchase would be the same! ). Their fees were reasonable and no hidden extras

My partner and I used Gard & Co Solicitors to carry out Legal work on our behalf. From our initial contact with them to the completion of the work, Gard & Co and its Team were excellent. We dealt with Bethany Spencer, who was meticulous, professional and very personable. We believe that she has a great Legal career ahead of her. We would not hesitate in using Gard & Co and its Team to act on our behalf in the future.

I am delighted with the way in which Gard and Co, in particular Jodie dealt with the conveyancing of my late father's property. Despite the complexity of dealing with a property in the midlands and one of the will executors being in Canada, Jodie completed the whole process quickly and with no fuss. Her professionalism and excellent communication made the whole process painless and stress free which was very much appreciated. I have no hesitation in giving Gard and Co my strongest recommendation and will certainly use them again.

We are very pleased with the help and professional guidance we received from Michelle and her team in the conveyancing process. In particular, we were very grateful for the attention to detail relating to probate issues. A BIG thank you! We would have no hesitation in using Gard & Co in the future.

My family & I use Gard & Co for all our legal matters for Wills, Power of Attorney Trust Funds & most recently the buying & selling of our old & new property. Karen McCormick who dealt with all matters in our purchase, quickly, efficiently & kept us informed regularly on the progress. Anything I didn’t understand with the legal terms Karen always explained it which made it much easier to complete of what seemed endless documents. My brother is now using Karen at Gard & Co to attend to his purchase. Very pleased with the attentive service at Gard & Co.
