Writing a will

My wife and I received excellent service from Cay. She gave us advice on things which we had not considered and in addition advised on matters that we did not need to include in the will. At no time did we feel under pressure to get on with things quickly and we were given time and opportunity to think and query and amend drafts. A first class job.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience, Rodney and Martha! Writing a Will is such a deeply personal task, and we are absolutely thrilled to hear that Cay looked after you and your wife so well. Ensuring that our clients never feel pressured and are afforded the appropriate time to thoroughly review and amend their drafts is a fundamental standard of our private client department. Thank you for choosing us!

Dealing with my father's estate

Rachel and her team dealt with my late father's estate in a very friendly and professional manner. Whilst the process was slow mainly I think to external forces, e.g probate office, HMRC etc. The process started in June 2024 after my father's death in May of that year. I finally received the final accounts last week as all residual tax had been paid on dividends. I was updated regularly on how things were going

Brilliant service

We can't recommend Anna Robinson highly enough, having recently sold properties and purchased one, she has been a constant during the whole process, she has guided us through with ease leaving us feeling confident throughout, she has kept us informed at all times, and nothing has ever felt too much trouble. We are so lucky in Settle to have such a brilliant firm of Solicitors.

Sara is an absolute master of her craft!

Absolutely outstanding service. Sara has been balanced, knowledgeable and consistently reassuring throughout my divorce proceedings. What could have been an incredibly stressful and overwhelming process was made clear and manageable thanks to her calm guidance and expertise. She explained every step in a way that put my mind at ease and always made me feel supported. I genuinely couldn’t have navigated this without her, and I’m deeply grateful for everything she’s done.

I'm so glad we chose Walker Foster when buying our land. Rizzwana was really good and professional throughout. She never delayed in getting information over to the sellers and I just felt she went the extra mile, which is a great feeling to have as it can be a daunting process. Thanks Rizzwana for getting it over the line for us. Highly recommend.

House sale - amazing communication

Sarah Bright and Issy Morgan facilitated my house sale. I actually tracked Sarah down from a previous house purchase that she’d done for us while working at another solicitors, because she is so good. The communication is brilliant. No chasing and leaving multiple messages - replying the same day and doing all they can towards desired timelines. Faultless and will always come back to these guys for as long as they are in their roles!!
