Help with Letter of administration

I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the reliable, quick, and professional service mum and I received while applying for the letter of administration following my Aunty’s passing, as she died intestate. During what has been a very difficult time for the family, Charlotte provided clear guidance, prompt communication, and consistently efficient support. Every interaction was handled with professionalism and empathy, which made the process far less stressful than we had anticipated. We are truly grateful for the smooth experience and the care shown throughout. Please pass on our thanks to everyone involved. Your service has made a meaningful difference to us at a time when it was needed most.

I would like to thank Ali (Fakhruddin) wholeheartedly for his kindness, patience & professionalism in dealing with my second cousin’s inheritance. It has been a long drawn out complex case but Ali made the process as simple as possible and always with good humour. “We got there in the end Ali.. Cheers!”

Client Review Slater Heelis

Two years ago I used the services of Slater Heelis to arrange a Capacity Assessment for my sister and just recently a Deed of Variation for her will. Prior to that I had used the services of Towns Neesham, a firm who later joined with SLater Heelis, where they had dealt with the purchase of father's house, the subsequent transfer of ownership to my sister, prepared my sisters will and later dealt with the sale of her house. I have every confidence in the excellent services and guidance given by the Slater Heelis solicitors and I would use the firm again.

Outstanding Service, would recommend

I had an excellent experience working with Alishan Khan during my property purchase. From start to finish, he was professional, efficient, and incredibly reliable. The entire process was handled smoothly and with great attention to detail, making what can often be a stressful experience feel straightforward and manageable. Alishan was always available to answer my questions and provide advice whenever needed. He took the time to explain everything clearly, simplifying complex legal matters and ensuring I fully understood each stage of the transaction. His communication was prompt, and I always felt informed and supported throughout the process. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, my property purchase was completed efficiently and with ease. I would highly recommend Alishan Khan to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and trustworthy solicitor.

Kind and professional

I met Claire to discuss an IVF agreement as a known male donor for a same-sex female couple. She was thorough, professional, and also very kind and personable. I felt very well informed afterwards and remember it not just as an important conversation for me, but a warm and friendly one too.

Daniel was excellent for a service relating to a notice to terminate which we had contacted him for. We contacted him on short notice and requested this to be sorted fast, which once we had explained to Daniel the situation he was very helpful in. He provided the conclusion ahead of the required date, breaking our options down, and giving us competent advice. Would recommend highly to anyone else looking for help in this sort of matter. Thanks Daniel!
