Estate Administration and acquiring the Grant of Probate

Our experience, after having instructed the team at Blanchards Bailey to assist us through the process of estate administration and acquiring the Grant of Probate for a deceased family member, was very positive indeed. At every stage the staff were exceptionally helpful and approachable. Each enquiry and request, no matter how trivial, was answered courteously and quickly. As a result of the professional expertise and efficiency of the team looking after us we were able to move through the process at pace.

Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney

I had a very positive experience with this firm. The reception was welcoming, and the offices are bright, modern, and easy to access with convenient parking. I met with Jerome, who was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and understanding—he quickly grasped my needs and handled my documents efficiently and professionally. His secretary Hilary was equally helpful, answering my queries about deeds promptly and clearly. I’m very pleased with the service I received.

Will Dispute

Lucy Mignot and Brook Carter worked efficiently together to help conclude a case that garnered a far more productive outcome than could possibly have happened without their professional knowledge and support. Lucy is formidably well informed, and rigorously thorough. As Lucy's colleague, Brook was consistently helpful and informative. Am grateful to them both for their assistance, and can highly recommend their services.

property sale

Karena Harrison and Angie Gillingham have recently completed a property sale on my behalf. It was complicated and long delayed, so it was very reassuring to be given clear, friendly, honest guidance throughout the process!

Brook met with us to discuss a situation regarding land and access that may lead to a dispute. She had clearly researched our fairly complicated situation very well which made the meeting efficient and constructive.

Employment

support during redundancy

Sophia provided swift, expert and consistent advice regarding the settlement agreement related to voluntary redundancy. She always responded quickly to any query and knew the law and up-to-date details which the employer had missed. I felt she had my back at every step in an unfamiliar situation.
