Probate assistance

We had 2 family members die within 3 weeks who were father and son and stepfather to my wife. This was a very difficult situation with no will of her younger brother and a dependant partner with no safeguard for her future. Without the help of Gill Tobin at Dovaston Law sorting out these problems would have been beyond our capabilities and we were very grateful for the excellent service and information given to us, We have no problem in recommending this firm to others and will use again when required,

Updating Will

Following the death of my wife, I wanted to update my will & a number of relating documents. Gill had drawn up an earlier will in 2018 & LPOAs so she had a good basis for helping me review what was needed. Very clear, professional & friendly service

Fantastic Service

I used Dovaston for legal advice when my husband passed away . I also used them to draft my will. They were recommended to me by a friend who had used them. Gill Tobin was brilliant, explaining everything clearly for me . I am glad i used them.

I couldn't recommend Karen at Dovaston Law highly enough. As someone who knows nothing about wills and LPA's or any other legal stuff, Karen made the whole process simple, quick and best of all, she explained it all in plain English. I thank Karen for all the work she did for me and she is held in my highest regard. Any wills or family law, go to Dovaston law! Professional is an understatement

Ah, thank you Stephanie! Law made plain and simple is what I do!

Karen is the consummate professional. She is supportive and thorough and made a very challenging and difficult personal situation feel more manageable. Her structured, no-nonsense approach gave me an honest reality-check on my situation and what my next steps were. Karen's wealth of experience is undeniable, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to friends and family. Thank you Karen for all your support. I have had to post anonymously, but I hope from reading my review you know who I am. Thank you.
