Great Service

The whole process was relaxed and friendly the whole way through. Everything was explained in detail and we were made to feel in control. Value for money was great and the rates were far better than the local competition.

I am very grateful to Ames Kent for all their help with my late parent's Wills, and am especially thankful to Katherine from the moment I contacted her. She was nothing but knowledgeable, helpful and gave me excellent advice regarding probate. I had no idea what to do and she guided me through it in a considerate and efficient manner.

Ames Kent are very professional at all levels and once again have guided me through matters I was naive to. They always act with integrity and professionalism. They have always been on the end of the phone if I needed reassurance. Since finalising my affairs I feel a sense of achievement and empowerment. I would always use Ames Kent.
