Will preparation.

I am very grateful for the advice and help from the Solicitor in preparing my Will. He came to my house which meant I was more relaxed than going to an office, He explained the various necessities when making a will and why it was important to have a will outlining my wishes both before and after my death.

Everything was done with efficiency and clarity. Amendments were made without fuss. The cost was more than we expected, but have nothing to compare with

POA

Excellent and quick service from first contact. Fixed fee payment makes budgetting simple. I was taken through the options for my POA and the implications of each before a draft document was made available.

from Thorntons Law Llp

Thank you for your feedback, Kenneth. It’s particularly pleasing to know that the options and implications were clearly explained before preparing the draft, and that the fixed fee provided certainty when budgeting. We truly appreciate your kind words.

We have been clients of Macnabs for many years, whether it be buying/selling homes, preparing Wills etc..... all members of staff have always been very professional and efficient in their work.... I would recommend Alan Roughead who has been working for us recently, he has taken time to give us the best advice.....they're fees are respectfully competitive.

Avoid at all cost

They don't even look at any evidence or contact police about investigation. They protect paedophiles and child abusers.

Exceptional service and advice from Graham Taylor and the team at Thorntons Law. Graham acted for me for the purchase of a new property in Montrose, everything was dealt with efficiently and with due care from start to finish. Thornton's should be your 'go-to' place for legal work in Scotland. Thank you Graham and your team.

Very disappointed. Initially the contact was positive. A call back from a solicitor on the friday which resulted in the promise of an email being sent on Monday and a call back. No email sent and no call back. Its embarrassing as I prepped the other party to expect the email. Still no call back or response to an email asking for an update. There is no reasonable excuse for this.

Hi there, we’re sorry to hear you’ve been unhappy with your experience with us. We’d really like the opportunity to understand what has happened and look into your concerns properly. We’re not able to discuss individual matters publicly, but if you’re happy to contact us directly at enquiries@thorntons-law.co.uk with your details, we can make sure this is passed to the right team to review.

Thorntons handled the sale of my old property and the purchase of my new home. With both transactions I found them to be thorough, honest and supportive. Everything was explained in detail and there was no pressure placed on me to buy or sell. Instead knowledgeable assistance was given regarding my decisions. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Big thanks to the whole team in Cupar. J.

from Thorntons Law Llp

Thank you for your kind recommendation, J. We are delighted to hear that the team provided thorough and supportive guidance throughout both transactions. It is particularly pleasing to know that you felt well informed and confident in your decisions.
