There is much paperwork to be done after a death which I was happy to produce however when it came to submitting it to the Court I handed the file over to Duncan. The application to the Court was made and the Grant of Probate issued in a matter of two or three weeks. I would not hesitate to recommend the services of Blanchard Bailey.
James Duncan from Blanchards Bailey Llp responded to this review on 24 April, 2025:
Thank you for your kind words Susan - I am pleased to have been of assistance. If we can be of any further help, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Unprofessional, not proactive, hard to speak to, would not use the phone, the list goes on.
The firm has gone down hill in recent years. Unfortunately, a reflection of poor leadership.

I was recently purchasing a new home and was so pleased to be able to find Sarah Trickey at Blanchards Bailey. Sarah had previously acted as conveyancer for me but had moved from the previous company. Her no nonsense attitude, sense of humour and professional manner made my house move so much easier and the price was right too! Thank you Sarah and Blanchards Bailey for making one of life’s most stressful experiences (almost) a doddle 😊

A very disappointing service from the Probate department - not sure if it was a case of too many clients or a culture within the company - it felt like our file would come to the top every couple of weeks, one task would be done (or just considered) and back to the bottom of the pile it went. Only when a formal complaint was submitted did any concerted action happen. This laidback approach wouldn't work in any other profession. The management needs to look at how Probate applications are processed, with weekly checks and updates for all clients.

Solicitor Natasha Long made a complex and lengthy probate as straightforward as it could be. She was clear, informed and organised at all times. I would definitely recommend Blanchards Bailey.
