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."

My view

Everyone was so professional, with a warm welcome and just made the conveyancing of my property stressful for me. I appreciated all aspects of their work. Would also thoroughly recommend the Will department on North Hill, again very professional but at the same time offered good advice and were very caring . I thank all for the thoroughness and kindness shown to me.

Will Review, Land Registry Check and Transfer of Property to 'Tenants in Common'

We are happy to submit a positive review of our experience of consulting Wolferstans Solicitors and in particular the professional advice provided by Ms G Pollard. She guided us through the potential advantages and pitfalls of agreeing to new joint 'mirror' Wills, in the context of current Inheritance Law and the eventual distribution of our joint estates. (Our existing Wills being a couple of originally 'forty-year-old' documents!!). This is could have been a stressful and contentious process without the valuable advice Ms Pollard, who explained all the options open to us under current legislation and fully explained mutual Wills, Trusts and Tenancy in Common, as well as dealing with Land Registry and other relevant legal issues and conventions. Thanks to her detailed knowledge and timely advice we were able to agree, in a harmonious fashion, two new Wills but avoid creating potentially complex problems for our Executors and for our children and grandchildren, while protecting the interests of the surviving partner. Georgina Pollard was an engaging and supportive advisor in person and always available by phone/e-mail whenever we had additional queries. We both agree she was outstanding and prepared to 'go the distance' with a pair of 'quirky' senior citizens. Even the bill came out as quoted. We are happy to award her and Wolferstans Solicitors '5 Stars' for their professional advice and service.

My late Sister's Estate

Danielle Penrose and her team settled my sister's estate. My sister's children have issues with each other which made Danielle's job rather complicated. She dealt with these dysfunctional family members in a very patient and professional manner. Something I would have found impossible to do. She was able to resolve the issues and reach a successful conclusion.

We used Wolferstans for the sale and purchase of properties, and to write our Wills. On all fronts the service we received from Wolferstans was exemplary! They were in constant communication with us through all the stages, so we always knew where we were in the process, what needed to be done and what we were waiting for. We were able to communicate in which ever way suited us best, email, phone or face-to-face in their offices. We had Aled and Jolanda as our contacts and they were absolutely brilliant!

Highly recommend both Ebenezer Ola and Claire Booth with the sale of our late Mum's property. Claire has been amazing at keeping us up to date with the process, answering all our questions, and generally just going above and beyond. Ebenezer has also kept us up to date and called when necessary. Will definitely use them both again.

Excellent Communication Throughout - A Positive Experience

Pauline and Edward based in the Plympton office made the stressful circumstance of selling and buying a property much more bearable! They communicated clearly throughout and answered any queries we had a long the way promptly and informatively. There was a good dialogue around timescales from the start which helped to set our expectations. When we requested a date to aim for this was worked towards and clearly communicated to the other parties involved. We have used Wolferstans in the past and find their services to be top notch.

Brilliant service. Very efficient and the app makes everything very easy to navigate. The team respond promptly to queries and always go out of their way to move the process on. When one person is away they always arrange handovers and let you know who will be staying in touch with you. What could have been a stressful process was made hassle free. Will 100% use them again. A special thank you to Jane Tytheridge and Sophie Page - they are clearly a great team.
