Excellent Service

Maples, Faye Blair, were a pleasure to deal with. We were kept informed at all stages of the process and I consider their fees were value for money. I would definitely recommend!

After a meeting with Jamie Dobbs, I agreed to let her deal with the probate for my late wife. I was advised that this could take some time due to delays in the Court. The whole process took less than 2 months.

First time buyer, the clarity and information Laura provided were amazing and helped put my mind at ease with straight forward information and excellent price structuring that made it simple to understand my fees and where my money was going. Brilliant from start to finish, definitely plan on using them for other services.

Easy, Efficient and Effective

I didn't want to make a Will but needed to. Jane at Maples made the process easy and clear. She took the time to include all the details I wanted, which was really important to me. I wanted to get things right. Jane completed her part quickly which enabled me to go at my own pace, sometimes I needed more time, on another occasion things needed completing by a fast approaching date. I would highly recommend this service.

Excellent Solicitors. Friendly, professional, proactive service with timely results & reasonable prices. Quoted me approximately £3000 to administer my wife's estate, there being no enforceable will & to transfer property into my name which necessitated a full conveyance & mortgage arrangement. The final invoice was nearer £2000 ! Happy Days !!!😁

About this branch

Description

Maples Solicitors LLP (originally Maples & Son) was founded in the late 1820’s by Ashley Maples (1806-1886) (pictured top left) who for over 50 years was one of the most prominent figures in the public life of Spalding. He was a member of the Spalding Improvement Board (a predecessor of the District Council), Clerk to the Spalding Guardians (who ran the Workhouse) and a Town Husband. Further, he was Superintendent Registrar and for many years the offices of Maples & Son were the Registry Office for Spalding and District; the last link between these organisations only ceasing in 2005, so that many Registry Office weddings were conducted in our building. HE was also a Feoffee of the Spalding Living (that is, one of the Trustees who appointed the Vicar of Spalding), Governor of the Moulton Endowed School and Treasurer of the Spalding Gentleman’s Society; organisations which the firm continues to be associated with as Clerk and/or Legal Advisor to this day.
