Advice received over more than 20years from Blanchards Bailey on dealing with a family Trust, probate matters, purchase and sale of property. Jerome Dodge has also advised us on estate planning, wills, powers of attorney and establishment and registration of protective Trusts.

Mostly 'On The Ball' But not always

Dealing with Wills and Trusts, Jerome is as always clear, professional and inventive . Dealing with the Conveyancing Department was sometimes more difficult and frustrating. We had quite a lot of house matters this year and we found it hard work. However the jobs got done to our satisfaction in the end.

Wills, Trusts & Probate

Wills & Contested Probate

My brother and I were subjected to unsympathetic and unreasonable demands from this awful firm, resulting in mental health problems for us both. The firm didn't stop the disposal of our parents items like their wedding photo album, or our fathers' collection of fridge magnets from all over the world by a third party. We feel they failed to protect our interests and ignored complaints made. Do NOT write solicitors into your Wills or let someone who knows a member of staff in a solicitors' firm to influence family members' choices and ignore concerns raised!
