I have been a client for around 20 years and have always been looked after by Amanda Smitherman. Amanda is very friendly and helpful, answering questions and explaining everything to me. She is extremely professional and every visit is followed up by a letter detailing oout everything we discussed. I would not hesitate to seek her professional advice at any time.

Wills, Trusts & Probate

Authorship of Wills with Life Interest over House

We took advice to go to Ashtons to have our Wills written because we each wanted our share of our House to be placed in Trust for our grandchildren, but with a Life Interest in the house for the survivor. This provided some safeguard for each of our halves of the house against future unforeseen events (to pass to our children) while at the same time guaranteeing availability of the whole house (or any replacement) as a rent-free domicile for our survivor. I trusted Ashtons to have the Legal Knowledge to ensure this was done and to provide all relevant legal advice (including inheritance advice) and details of options.

Excellent service

We are extremely pleased with how Harriet Richardson dealt with the estate of our late aunt. She was very efficient, professional and competent in dealing with the matter so much so that we have instructed Ashtons conveyancing department to deal with the first registration of our property. We would recommend Harriet to anyone needing assistance.

I would highly recommend Ashtons Legal for their outstanding service and support throughout our house purchase. A special thank you to Andrew Skuse and Rachel Chilton, who were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Their professionalism, expertise, communication, and dedication made what could have been a very stressful process feel so much easier. They went above and beyond to help ensure everything was handled smoothly and, ultimately, made our house purchase possible. We are incredibly grateful for all their hard work and would not hesitate to recommend Andrew, Rachel, and the team at Ashtons Legal to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, and supportive legal team. Thank you once again for everything!

We recently used Ashtons Legal for the purchase of our first home and couldn't be happier with the service we received. A special thank you to Kathryn Smith and Sienna Vincent, who were excellent throughout the entire process. They were responsive, efficient, professional and always willing to answer our questions, no matter how small. Communication was clear and timely, and they consistently kept pace with us whenever we needed information or decisions quickly. Buying a house can be stressful, and we'd heard plenty of horror stories from friends and family about conveyancing solicitors. Thankfully, our experience with Ashtons Legal was the complete opposite. Kathryn and Sienna helped keep everything on track, proactively dealt with issues as they arose, and gave us confidence throughout the transaction. The service was worth every penny and we would not hesitate to recommend Ashtons Legal to anyone purchasing a property. Thank you again for helping us secure our new home.
