From extremely anxious to calm in one meeting. I met with Alison Courtenay, together with my daughter and granddaughter, to discuss a very concerning problem with my late husband's will which had proved to be a very ill-advised document. Alison explained clearly and concisely the action that needed to be taken and my family and I agreed to Alison's solution to the matter. Alison then very speedily dealt with all actions required, keeping me informed at every stage. I have nothing but praise for Alison who was extremely professional but who also showed great empathy.
A representative from Downie & Gadban responded to this review on 02 June, 2025:
Thank you so much for sharing your review. Alison is delighted to have received your comments and was very glad to be able to help you through the process.

I wanted to sing the praises of Alison Courtenay who supported us after the passing of my father in December 2023. She was 100% there from the start; compassionate and kind. She gave us all the information we needed and explained everything clearly. She was meticulous whilst maintaining humility and empathy. I would highly recommend her to anybody who is made executor of an estate.
