Professional service

"I contacted Wolverstans in 2025 for help with my hearing claim from the MOD. Alex Nicholson helped me through my entire claim, set up all my tests at the various doctors. My claim was settled out of court and I was really happy with the whole service."

"I am housebound, and Wolferstans were more than happy to visit me at home. They even came with a 'witness' once the will was complete. I feel they gave excellent advice and everything was completed quickly."

Lasting Powers of Attorney

Very attentive service from beginning to end of process, and it made a daunting experience to come into quite an easy to understand and friendly process. Difficulties expected, but at the end of this process it turned out to be an experience to look back on with satisfaction.

Hi Keith, Thank you for your kind feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you found our service attentive throughout and that we were able to make what can often feel like a daunting process much easier to understand.

Deputyship for My Brother-in-Law

Sadly, the deputyship for my brother in law came to an end on his death in January 2025. Prior to that Shannon Fawdry handled his affairs efficiently and effectively. This included arranging insurance for the unoccupied family home and putting in place the necessary arrangements for property inspection. Ms Fawdry''s services are highly recommended.

Making a Will is Essential & Painless

We all think we know we wish our estate to be distributed upon our deaths. However, there are many nuances and details which require advice & guidance to ensure your wishes are fulfilled in addition to the complexities of inheritance tax rules. Wolferstans have provided a fantastic service, opening options we were unaware allowing us to construct a will satisfying both of us and our childrens needs.

Hi Ralph, Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. You're absolutely right, estate planning can be far more complex than it first appears, and it's great to hear that Wolferstans were able to guide you through those nuances so effectively. It's reassuring to know they helped you create a will that meets both your and your children’s needs. A truly well-rounded and client-focused service. Best wishes, Wolferstans LLP.

From the first meeting through to the signing of our will we could not fault the service from Wolferstans. From the receptionists to the solicitor all the staff are very welcoming, polite and professional. They pride themselves on being a family business. Our solicitor listened to our wishes and guided us through the whole procedure, to give us a will that fits our circumstances perfectly.

I highly recommend this firm. Very professional, friendly and communicated extremely well, using no 'legalise'. Linda Woollams helped me through the entire process and she is so good at her job it's obvious she has more knowledge than most other solicitors appear to know.
