Approached GWL to write Wills for myself and my wife, our requirements were not as straight forward as we thought and Peter Marsh explained in a clear, concise and easily understood way the different options open to us. We agreed on an option that suited both of us and the draft Wills were drawn up and sent to us the next day, we accepted the drafts and signed the following day. The knowledge and service were 1st class and I would highly recommend the practise.

An extremely good service from our very first approach, to the final letter.

Every part of the exercise was pleasant and professional, excepting the original draft document of the will, which was riddled with inaccuracies. Clearly, the document had not been read after its typing.

Dear Saxon, Thank you for your feedback, and we apologize for any inaccuracies in the initial draft of the will. We appreciate your patience and hope the final document meets your expectations.

Sarah Walker at the Heswall office looked after our house purchase in Dec 2019. She gave excellent friendly advice, was on the ball with all the vital searches and was supported by superb back-up colleagues in the office. Unhesitatingly recommended!

House Purchase & New Wills : We recently purchased a property in Neston through your Heswall Branch . The process was handled by Mark Broughton and was smooth and efficient. We are invited to a free check up of our wills which was carried out by Georgina Roberts who explained everything in language we could both understand - We now have new Wills which suit our circumstances . GWL pricing was very fair and we would recommend their services

Sarah Walker of the Heswall branch of GWL dealt with the sale of my mother's property. She was a delight to deal with - efficient, knew her stuff, offered great advice, was friendly and easy to get hold of. Really took the stress and hassle out of the process. Would highly recommend.
