Professional and patient

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.
