    Sale of Estate

    We were appointed as Executors of my Mother/Mother in Laws Estate and Isobel Armstrong was appointed as our lawyer handling the sale of her estate. To say Isobel was a pleasure to work with, would be an understatement. Isobel was professional, quick and efficient handling what was slightly complicated sale with it being a Leasehold flat with a separate garage with aplomb. We were kept informed of progress of the sale at all stages and would highly recommend both Isobel and the company Kitson Boyce LLP without hesitation.

    Will challenge

    I am absolutely delighted with the way Ellen Yeates took on my Will challenge case. Ellen prepared a fantastic letter of claim professionally, advising me along the way, my options, risks that I would be taking. I am very pleased to say Ellen won my case and I cannot thank her enough because I was previously unfairly treated by an unpleasant relative. My late Auntie will be delighted that her wishes were fulfilled. Ellen was brilliant & I cannot speak highly enough of her. Ellen- Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Tina Melsome

    Kitson Boyce LLP

    Dear Tina, Thank you for your heartfelt message. Weā€™re so pleased Ellen was able to support you through such a sensitive matter with professionalism and care. Itā€™s wonderful to hear that her efforts helped achieve the right outcome and honour your late Auntieā€™s wishes. Best Regards, Kitson Boyce

    Will Writing

    A great service from Katie with my will, she was super patient with my extensive delays due to work and health issues, I really appreciate the extra time it took and the understanding. Everything was clear and going to the office with the required paperwork was a good experience. Also, Marjorie helped with my Deed Poll application, which I found super challenging, and to get it all sorted during the same appointment showed how helpful Kitsons are. Highly recommend as a firm, everyone I have dealt with have been friendly and professional. Thank you for your help with my will and Deed Poll

    I found Kitson Boyce initially friendly and professional and they were instructed to make a Will. If you are making a Will and have any vulnerabilities (or for a friend or relative with vulnerabilities) I would not use Kitson Boyce. I found this at out too late unfortunately.

      Cannot recommend enough!!

      We have just completed on a house sale and purchase that presented lots of separate issues so was a stressful time. Isobel was extremely communicative from the start, she explained everything to us every step of the way. Other solicitors we have used previously we have had to constantly chase for updates, which is probably the most frustrating part, the not knowing! With Isobel, even though there were issues we were kept informed so we were not in the dark or left wondering! Nothing was too much trouble, the phone calls were always ā€œIm here to helpā€ and we were able to go over to the office for signatures to expedite things so super convenient! Ive already recommended to several people and wanted to leave a review also so other people can read! If communication and efficiency are top of your list, Isobel should be your choice! Thank you again Isobelā€¦.

      My contact with Kitson Boyce was, of necessity, remote. Nevertheless, the team there were always very efficient, friendly and approachable. Honestly, at times, the process seemed interminable; but I know that this was just an effect of the system and in no way denoted any deficiency on the part of Judy, Claire, or anybody else at Kitson Boyce. I am very grateful for their professional help and advice.

      How it SHOULD be done Ellie Louise was recommended to us as a professional who could guide us through the legal process of arranging a mortgage. From the start, we were impressed by Ellie's no-nonsense approach, including picking up the phone when we needed to check something. The whole process was completed quickly and smoothly, thanks in no small part to her willingness to explain any points of concern and put minds at rest. We found her approach both refreshing and reassuring in equal measure. No delays, no faff. Just straightforward and easy to follow. Just as it should be. Our experience of dealing with the legal profession in property matters has not always been a positive one. But Ellie has definitely restored our faith and we would recommend her as an example of how this legal stuff should be done.

      from Kitson Boyce LLP

      Thank you for such wonderful feedback, Nick. We are delighted Ellie made the process clear, efficient and reassuring, and helped restore your confidence in legal services.
