Wills made with ease

We were concerned about renewing our wills but having spoken to the solicitor concerned, she explained all the pros and cons of our decisions which put us at ease. Consequently we will go back to her for our power of attorney' soon.

Excellent Service

From my first appointment at Frettens, Ringwood everyone was very welcoming and put me at ease. Chloe was very good at explaining the intricacies of making a will and power of attorney o it was easy for e to make the decisions that were right for me and my children. I would thoroughly recommend Chloe and the Frettens Ringwood team for any legal issues.

This was a difficult decision for me to make, preparing for my death.

I don't know how to explain this, but Rhiannon's approach to this difficult document, her coming to my home to take it all seem more like a friendly visit, than the serious matter we were dealing with.

Sympathetic, patient , easy to work with

Mr Young was very patient as he worked us through the POA's. He explained everything luckily giving us the confidence to sign the POA.

Our POA's and Wills

Rhiannon was lovely/amazingly helpful and it was our pleasure to meet her. Her work was indeed thorough and exactly as we wished it to be. We were made entirely clear about everything. I have referred her also.

Personally I wouldn’t use this company. Unfortunately my mum does and regrets it. My mum was in st Anne’s and wasn’t in a mental state and out Lee (who she doesn’t know that well as her POA) she was deemed fine mental capacity due to Lee saying so. When she has got better she has asked for this to be amended. I have spoken to Lee and he said no problem but it will cost. I feel this solicitor has taken taken someone heavily on medication, Huntingtons and in st Anne’s advantage of. When asked to correct it comes with a cost (of course it does) always seems to be on holiday and very hard to speak with. Stay clear.

A representative from Frettens LLP responded to this review

Hi Antony It’s untrue to claim Lee does not know your mother well at all. He has been trustee of your grandmother’s trust (which looks after your mother) for over 15 years and has acted as your mother’s attorney for 4 years. All of our solicitors are highly trained and take their responsibilities to their clients very seriously, particularly when they are vulnerable like your mother with little family support. The power of attorney in question was, as you are well aware, put in place with the full knowledge and support of your mother’s Social Worker, so claims that she has been taken advantage of are also completely false. As we have discussed with you, your mother is of course free to change her representation, however we are completely confident that everything Lee has done for her, and for your grandmother’s trust, over the years has been in her best interest. It is worth adding that Lee is an extremely experienced solicitor who handles numerous similar trusts and has an impeccable reputation for both his advice and service. You can read dozens of reviews from just the past 12 months on Review Solicitors. We are of course happy to discuss further with you again, but would request that if you do so, please refrain from swearing at our team.

Complete Peace of Mind!

I cannot recommend Phoebe and Frettons highly enough. Property transactions can be stressful, but her incredible attention to detail made the entire process easy. Phoebe managed a difficult situation withers, proving her integrity. I was particularly impressed by her proactive communication, as she efficiently kept me updated. She is a true professional, and I will absolutely use Frettons services again.
