Wills, Trusts & Probate

Joint will's

We had both of our will's drafted to our requirements by Sam Parkinson, the whole process was dealt with very professionally and throughout the process we were kept informed. We had a couple of changes which again was painless and professional followed by sign off. Thankyou Sam Parkinson and Foys, job well done and ..... two happy campers.

Wills, Trusts & Probate

Foys Probate

A fairly straightforward probate took 17% longer and cost 22% more than Foys highest estimates. We felt we had to agree to their excessive charges to get the whole stressful process finished which took over 21 months despite chasing them weekly in the final 10 weeks. They haven't even responded to a formal complaint regarding poor communication, lack of tracking / chasing and it's a month after their 28 day deadline which sums it up really. Appalling customer service from supposed professionals.

Caring, Supportive, and Professional

The team handled our mother’s estate with professionalism, care, and attention to detail. Their clear guidance and supportive approach made a difficult process much easier. We were so impressed with their service that we are using them once more and would not hesitate to do so again in the future.

We would like to thank Hannah Edgley for making a tricky house purchase so much easier and less stressful. Her attention to detail and quick responses are second to none, along with her friendly but professional attitude. We would absolutely use her if we ever move again, it’s the best experience of conveyancing we’ve ever had. Thanks also to Gillian Turner whose advice regarding Trust Funds was literally life saving, and again so friendly and professional. Jayne and David.

Excellent Service from Foys.

I would to recommend Ms. Carissa Moore of Foys Solicitors, Doncaster for the kind, efficient and exemplary service she provided in handling a deceased relative's conveyancing after I entrusted herb with the task. She took the time and trouble to go through the process with me; every question I had was answered with patience and concise information given in an understandable manner. Excellent !

I have recently had 2 occasions where I used the services of Foys. Firstly my wife and I needed to update our wills. Pauline Warburton listened to our requirement and produced our wills following a draft review. This was in a timely manner and both my wife and I was happy with the outcome. The second occasion I needed advice with respect to Probate. Sally Marriott advised and guided me through the process with ease. I am very thankful to Sally and can recommend Foys for these services.

Toni of Foys provided an Outstanding service. Had a Will to process of a medium size, and of some complexity. Foys took the matter in hand, handled all the legal details beyond my ability, kept me regularly updated, conducted all the research into accounts, and government offices, even dealt with legal difficulties I could never handle, and concluded all the affairs in good time. They handled everything with professionalism, and sensitivity; and their fees were were very modest in comparison to the work undertaken. I highly recommend Foys.

I recently worked with Lee Hunter and his team for probate services to administer my late cousin's estate. Despite the complexities involved, including a large number of beneficiaries and pandemic-related delays, Lee and his team handled everything with professionalism, expertise, and care. Their clear communication and dedication made a challenging process much easier to navigate. I highly recommend Lee Hunter and Foys Solicitors for their exceptional service. Thank you for your hard work and support!

Chantelle was very professional, friendly and very easy to talk to. During a difficult time after my dad passed away chantelle made the process of probate very easy and took the stress away from my family. I would definitely recommend Chantelle.

First class service

Best solicitor used for selling my home by far! Having moved homes several times, this time has by far been the best experience working with a solicitor. Carrissa at Foys in Doncaster was very friendly and approachable from the get go, she gave me honest and helpful guidance and kept me updated throughout the sale - I never had to call Carrissa she was always very responsive via email and so proactive. My estate commented on the service! It was top class and I’d definitely recommend

Conveyancing - Carissa Moore

We got there in the end, thanks only to the persistence and determination of Carissa Moore. What could have been an incredibly frustrating transaction was moved along by a very competent and tenacious member of the Foys property team. Buying my forever home was daunting, but Carissa was quite frankly superb. I was kept up to date with regular emails and telephone calls. I cannot recommend Carissa and Foys enough. Thank you again for all your hard work.

Andrea Honeybone (Foys partner) along with her able staff Lisa and Jillian were extremely professional, efficient and most importantly, responsive to  our calls and queries at all times during our Doncaster house sale process. The proactive approach of "Team Andrea" was notably clear as they pressed for information on hiccups and holdups within the sale chain whenever the sale stalled. We were kept abreast of progress regularly even if this meant telling us they had nothing to tell us.... There is nothing worse than feeling like a mushroom in the dark! Selling your home is always stressful but we have no hesitation in giving Foys solicitors and "Team Andrea" our highest recommendation for providing a most competitively priced, premium service that has customer care at its heart. Christine and Trevor

10/10. Jane has been amazing with helping us to buy our house, very prompt and thorough. She was always willing to accept a phone call and no question was never too silly to ask as we’re first time buyers. Don’t listen to the bad reviews as far as conveyancing is concerned Jane has been brilliant we was in our first home with no chain in 2 months, couldn’t have asked for better. Such a Reasonable price too compared to many other quotes I received.
