Working Your Way Through the Legal Jungle

I went to a legal workshop to talk about 'Power of Attorney, Lasting' with Edward Lee from Wollens. His explanation was straightforward and it therefore encouraged my husband and I to ask Wollens to prepare the Lasting Power of Attorneys and take the legal headaches away from us and making sure we had those done as soon as possible.

We used Woollens to advise us on drafting wills that required trusts and we could not have been more delighted. Christopher Linton, the partner specialising in wills, spent a really long time at our initial meeting explaining everything to us, all at no cost and that in itself, helped us to make the decision!
