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

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!

Professional, Understanding, and Reassuring.

When I spoke to Karen, she was professional, understanding, and reassuring. She listened closely, explained everything clearly, and took my concerns seriously. I value her calm manner, honesty, and her ability to explain my options without making things feel overwhelming. Talking about personal family matters is never easy, but Karen treated the conversation with respect. I would gladly recommend Dovaston Law Limited (Karen) to anyone who needs a family solicitor.
