Complicated Will

Although the process was quite lengthy, the outcome was good. Joanne was very helpful in advising and listening to our requests. Expensive but hopefully worth the money.

Quick grasp of my requirements

My Will required a complete revision, my circumstances are a little unusual but it was dealt with efficiently and in a timely manner. I am considering using them when I sell my house.

Amazing service for Will writing

I cannot speak too highly of the service I received, so friendly but professional. At no time did I feel interrogated and the fact that I was making my Will, was in no way onerous. Thank you, Camille.

We have used Scott Richards Solicitors twice now, firstly to advise us and to draw up our mirror wills, and secondly to arrange for the transfer of my mother's will when she moved to Dawlish. My mother has recently passed away, and I received her will and was advised on how to proceed. On both occasions, Joanne O has been the person we have dealt with and has always been professional, understanding, and compassionate. I would recommend Scott Richards to anyone. Thank you.

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We’re really pleased to hear about your positive experiences with Scott Richards Solicitors and, in particular, with Joanne.

Sue McGregor, was assigned to assist us with probate , following the death of my brother. Whilst Sue remained professional at all times, she was always friendly and approachable. Sue was sensitive to my situation, and also to my sister in the law who was grieving the loss of her husband. Sue reponded promply to queries, we needed answered. The process of applying for probate was clearly set out for us, she helped us to negotiated legal terminlogy with clear explanation and without judgement. Despite the length of time it took to complete, any delays that took place were not because of her disinterest, she would explain she was just waiting for responses from another. It was a comfort to us both to work with such a kind and supportive person. Thank you Sue!

Thank you for your kind words about Sue McGregor, Kay. We’re so pleased to hear she was able to support you and your sister-in-law with professionalism and compassion during such a difficult time. Your feedback means a great deal, and we’ll be sure to pass it on to Sue. Take care.

Excellent service from Scott Richards on a time critical matter. Communication from Jamie, Claire and the team was second to none. I felt supported and was kept updated throughout and managed to achieve a positive outcome. I also engaged with Rachel earlier in the year, who helped me to write my will. Again, she was professional, knowledgeable and efficient from start to finish. I wouldn't hesitate to use again for any future requirements. Huge thanks #TeamSR

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're really glad that Jamie, Claire and the team kept you in the loop and feeling supported throughout. That's exactly what we aim for! Also brilliant to hear Rachel made the process of writing your Will smooth and straightforward earlier in the year. We really appreciate you taking the time to leave your kind words - a big thanks from us all at #TeamSR!

After a lengthy and frustrating litigation process it's fair to say we got to know the team rather well! We started the process with the late Chris Wills, who was excellent - we were then placed in the capable hands of Kirsty and Jamie. Professional and friendly transparent with costs, we can't fault this firm and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. All staff we dealt with at Scott Richards were professional at all times. We finally got a good outcome in our case, and felt very well represented.

Hi Jenny. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We're really pleased we could help you get a good result in the end. It was a long road, and we're glad you felt well supported throughout. We appreciate your feedback on the team — Kirsty, Jamie, and everyone here always aim to be clear, professional, and easy to work with. Your comments about Chris Wills also mean a lot to us. Thanks again for the recommendation — much appreciated.
