Will writing by Thomas Murray

It was a great pleasure to have dealt with Thomas for writing my will, and he had a very pleasant manner throughout the whole procedure.
He had an excellent knowledge of the subject with great attention to detail, and was also extremely helpful in answering other questions as well, and gave good advice.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Thomas to anyone, to use as a solicitor for wills and probate with his extensive knowledge and attention to detail. I would not consider going to anyone else if and when it comes to dealing with probate.

Absolutely outstanding. We were on a very tight deadline, Barbara and her team were fantastic. I can not recommend them enough. They were so patient, kind and professional throughout. Any questions we had they were always so quick to answer. Buying a house in such a short amount of time was challenging but Barbara did it. Thank you.

I used Thomas Murray from the Wills& Probate. My circumstances were particularly unusual. Thomas was so supportive I honestly do not know how I would or even if I would've got through it all. He even took time to speak with me out of office working hours and days. I highly recommend Thomas at Holley & Steer. I recently contacted Thomas to discuss my own Will and it was drawn up, signed and in my possession within 3 hours. Thank you Thomas for everything
