Transfer of Title Deeds - Land Registry

I have had connections with Ellisons for many years, mainly regarding my Will, but this is the first time I’ve had anything to do with Land Registry. My husband died last year leaving two properties to me and his two brothers and it felt like quite a complicated process to have to consider! Emily dealt with this whole procedure incredibly efficiently Right from our first interaction I felt reassured by her professionalism and expertise. She kept us all clearly informed every step of the way, was friendly and approachable, and her communication was excellent! Nothing seemed too much trouble and I can’t thank her enough for all she did during such an emotional time.

A truly professional firm

Rachel Dawson and Amelia Fox have worked tirelessly to support me in the preparation of my Will, which has proved to be quite complex at times. I have so appreciated their kindness and good humour and I could not recommend Ellisons more highly.

Efficient service

We had not used Ellisons before but we have been very impressed. They have dealt with our probate sale of our mother's home in an efficient manner and explained everything required fully. I would highly recommend them

Making your will easy

My husband and I had no idea how to do our Will, Lauren made it so easy and advised us along the way. When my husband died, again the procedure was so easy and the compassion shown by Lauren and her assistant was very comforting. I had to change my will and again the compassion and help given was second to none. Thank you

My brother and I can't thank Shah enough for seeing our late father's probate sale through to completion. He was patient, efficient and always on point, ensuring we were always ahead of the game. No matter how many obstacles our buyers solicitors put in the way, Shah's wealth of experience shone through. Ellisons not only dealt with the sale, but their Private Client team also handled the probate in a very timely and efficient manner. Great service all round.

My wife and I had our Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney prepared by Amy and her team, and we highly recommend Ellisons as a go-to law firm for wills, LPAs and inheritance tax advice. Everyone we dealt with was friendly, approachable and very knowledgeable, taking the time to clearly explain each step of the will writing and Lasting Power of Attorney process and providing helpful guidance on inheritance tax planning. The entire experience was professional, efficient and incredibly smooth from start to finish. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ellisons to anyone looking for reliable solicitors for wills, inheritance tax advice and LPAs.

A really poor service for business, no attention to detail and no clear communication. I was embarrassed for them after having to deal with their litigation team, who wasted our time and their own client’s. Despite being one of the largest firms in the region, they don’t even make it into the top 5 in East Anglia: it’s clear to see why. I instructed out around £300,000 of legal work last year and none of went to Ellisons: for good reason.

Dear Stephen, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re sorry to read your comments, though we note that you are not a recent client of Ellisons.

Gross & Co Solicitors I highly recommend. They have helped me with matters relating to will and probate law. They were able to assist efficiently, effectively and with a very professional, yet kind and clear manner. Excellent work and service provided. Thank you!

Re-mortgage

Very happy to recommend Marion to anyone needing to re-mortgage. This was the second occasion that Marion has dealt with the legal side of a re-mortgage for me. I found her and her team to be very professional and efficient throughout.

British Citizenship Application

I am very pleased with the legal services provided in support of my British citizenship application through right of descent. The process involved several complexities, including coordinating documentation across British Columbia and Quebec, resolving name discrepancies in a parent's identity documents, and managing referee requirements. My attorney navigated all of this efficiently and with clear, practical guidance throughout. Communication was consistently responsive and professional. I always felt well-informed about next steps, which kept the application moving without unnecessary delays. I would recommend these services without hesitation to anyone pursuing a descent-based citizenship application.
