Ray of Sidcup

Making potentially complicated legal matters easy to understand

My wife and I, with no dependants, decided it was high time to make proper provisions as to how we would wish our assets to be used if either or both of us lost our ability to make rational decisions and on our passings, that our funerals could be properly arranged and our bequests go to both our friends and good causes without any hitches. Using a regulated firm of solicitors was our desired choice and following discussions at the offices of our local firm that had acted for us in property transaction previously we decided on Judge & Priestley. Russell Ali there was able to guide us through the processes needed and prepare our Wills and Powers of Attorney documents for us at a fair, fixed price. We are both more than happy with Russell's professionalism. An "excellent" rating is more than justified.

Updating our wills

My wife and I met with Russell Ali to update our wills which were over 20 years old. Russell was highly professional, knowledgeable and very personable taking time to fully explain our options and follow up on a timely manner on subsequent questions. I would not hesitate to recommend Russell.

American Probate Matter

Abdul Kayani steered us through this complex and sometimes frustrating matter, professionally and speedily. The matter involved liaising with an American law firm in relation to an intestate estate in America. Not surprisingly, the matter presented Mr Kayani with novel and unusual issues, which he dealt with very competently.

Dealing with an intestate estate involving international elements can be particularly demanding, so it’s great to know that his professionalism, efficiency and expertise made a positive difference. Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and we’re glad Abdul was able to support you so effectively throughout.

Will Writing Experience

My husband and I wanted to renew our old, mirror wills. I 'Googled' solicitors, will writing and executors. I read a number of reviews, and eventually selected Judge and Priestley. I made contact with the firm by phone, and was given the name of the solicitor who would be dealing with our case. We met Russell Ali face to face in a couple of days or so. Everything went well. Every aspect was explained to us clearly. We were treated with respect. The solicitor was knowledgeable and attentive. The mirror wills were signed and finalised in less than a week.We were very happy with the service received.

Wills redone.

Contacted J&P in Sidcup to rewrite our mirror wills. We felt confident to have them done with our nominated solicitor, Mr Russell Ali as he provided relevant information and advice and we felt comfortable and assured during the whole process.

I cannot recommend David and the Private Client team highly enough. Following the death of my father, David assisted me with obtaining probate and the administration of the estate. If you are looking for an experienced wills and probate specialist, I would wholeheartedly recommend him. From our first meeting, David was compassionate, approachable and exceptionally knowledgeable. He took the time to explain every stage of the probate and estate administration process in clear and straightforward terms, which was invaluable during such a difficult time. What particularly impressed me was David's ability to deal with a number of unforeseen and complex issues that arose during the administration of the estate. His expertise in probate, inheritance tax matters and estate administration, together with his attention to detail and calm approach, gave me complete confidence that everything was being handled properly and efficiently. Throughout the matter, David and his Private Client team kept me fully informed, responded promptly to queries and provided outstanding client care. I also found his fee estimate to be fair, transparent and competitive when compared with other local solicitors I approached. Losing a parent is never easy, but David made a difficult and emotional process much more manageable for me and my family. His professionalism, guidance and support throughout the probate process were exceptional. If you need advice on probate, estate administration, wills or inheritance tax matters, I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending David and his team. Thank you, David, for your professionalism, expertise and support at every stage.

I contact Judge & Priestley to update my then current Will. The review of my current Will and how that was inhanced into my new Will was very ablely accomplished and the rationale clearly explained by my alloted solicitor Christopher Mills. I came away confident and relaxed in the knowledge all my preferences had been met into the future.

Dear Ken,, thank you so much for leaving your 5* review and comments. We are delighted that you have been satisfied with the level of service that you have received and look forward to working with you again in the future.

Dealing with the administration of an estate

The staff at Woolsey Morris and Kennedy (Sidcup) have been tremendous handling my late father's affairs during a pandemic. I would like to say thank you very much to all of them for their efficient service and compassion throughout.

We used Judge and Priestley for our sale and purchase and were really impressed with the service. Communication was clear throughout, emails were answered quickly and calls returned without delay, we always felt informed about the next steps. They handled several last‑minute issues calmly and kept the chain moving. I’d happily recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable conveyancer.

Our experience with Judge & Priestly was exceptional. We trusted them with our first home purchase which turned into an extremely long process (8 months). Every step of the way, we were provided with clear and helpful guidance and I trusted completely that Judge & Priestly were going above and beyond to ensure we were fully protected. There were multiple solicitors involved in the sale and it was abundantly clear that Judge & Priestly were the most competent and professional. Would recommend to anyone.
