"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.

A representative from Wolferstans responded to this review

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.

Carrying out Probate correctly is not always straightforward, but Georgina explained from the very start what my options were, she guided me through each step and dealt with the process in a calm, practical and efficient manner. Would certainly recommend Wolferstans.

Great Solicitor!

I strongly recommend Julian Burrows in the Plymouth branch of Wolferstans. When I discovered that my stepmother had her Life Interest Trust in her own private wealth account, I was very concerned. Julian was able to oversee the setting up of a dedicated Trust which was very reassuring for myself and siblings. Julian is very knowledgeable about trusts and guided me through the legalities. He also has a very good pastoral manner and a good sense of humour!

Clinical Negligence case

Liz and her team were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. They supported me through a really traumatic sensitive experience and managed this in a really sensitive way at all times. They were professional and the communication at each stage was brilliant. When you are going through a case like this it can feel daunting and at times don’t always understand however Liz and her team were responsive and took time to explain each step along the way. I felt well informed and supported throughout and I genuinely couldn’t thank them enough. I would reccomend to all of my family and friends in terms of my experience.

Perfect transaction for sale of house at auction

Joey, Connor and the rest of the team did a perfect job when we sold our house at auction. All communications were very quick. They were also quick to react to one or two unusual occurrences. It seems that although there would typically be one point of contact for a particular stage the rest of the team are quickly able to effectively step in if the main person is unavailable. Their app for collecting the details is simple and intuitive. The ID checks and electronic signatures that they use worked well. I opted for a completely digital process and had no problems at all. This way the tasks were completely portable, which was useful because we were between two homes and elsewhere.

I used Wolferstans both ten years ago and very recently and they have maintained a very professional and delightful team throughout. I primarily interfaced with Jane and Sophie for both a house sale and purchase and they were fantastic, incredibly punctual and helped me along so well throughout the entire thing, I would have been lost without them! Cannot recommend Wolferstans enough.
