    We would not hesitate to recommend Nadia Morgan of Guy Williams Layton LLP. She made the process of drawing up our Wills and also LPAs very straight forward and kept us informed as the issues progressed. She was able to impart the information in a way which made it easy for lay people to understand. She was patient, friendly and proffessional and we felt very comfotable throughout the whole process.

    Excellent professional service

    My wife and I would like to thank Nikki Taylor from Guy Williams Layton (Liverpool office) for all her help and guidance steering us through the process of Severance of joint tenancy. The process was delayed quite a while but this was due to Land Registry backlog however Nikki kept us informed of progress at every stage. We would highly recommend using this firm to anyone. Thank you Nikki for all your help, Pauline and Steve

      Probate / Sale of House

      I would like to Highly recommend Peter Marsh of GWL. Peter has dealt with Probate for my late farther in 2020, arrange to transfer everything to my mum at this stage including their house. The in 2024 my Mother died and Peter arranged Probate and dealt with all my mum's Debtors and creditors and final when the house had been sold to arrange for all the funds to be transferred into myself, brother and sister. Throughout all the journeys Peter has assisted with his great knowledge and expertise in the Probate minefield. He has kept me informed all the way through both probates and ensuring everything moved along smoothly. I would also like to recommend Sarah Walker who handled the sale of my late mum's house and kept me informed all the way through to complete the sale. Both Peter and Sarah are a credit to the Law firm and would highly recommend them with their expertise and knowledge.
