Making a Will

Making a Will is something you can keep putting off for another day. Time passes you by and you realise now is the time.
What seems like a challenge is made easier with the friendly and helpful staff. Everything is explained fully to you so you get a clearer picture and a reassurance. I will definitely recommend Russell and Russell Solicitors. They give you peace of mind.

We received first class service from solicitors Russell and Russell. Elizabeth was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and quickly made us feel at ease. We were kept fully up to date during the legal process and would have no hesitation in recommending this form to others.

Will making during Hospice month

This was a service which helped us to make a Will for a very reasonable amount plus a donation to Bolton Hospice which meant we both benefited.

Stress free experience

I knew this was a process I address but having recently lost my husband I was feeling anxious not having him by my side, but I needn't have worried. The second I met Elizabeth I felt completely at ease, almost like we were old friends. Her charm and knowledgeable smile actually made this a pleasure to complete.
I walked away with a smile and a huge weight lifted of my shoulders.

DONT TOUCH

Russell and Russell were without a doubt the worse solicitors I've used to re-mortgage, their communication was non existent and the mortgage was dragged out so long we had to request the lender to extend the offer despite me emailing the solicitors several times asking what else they needed.
They left everything to the last second.
