Making a will

I went to Prettys to make a will and Lorna guided me through the process. She has a great legal knowledge and made the process very simple and straightforward. I found her to be professional, but also very friendly and approachable. I was kept fully aware and her advice was easy to understand.

Making our will

Having recently lost our son we needed to rewrite our will. We found our lawyer was very sensitive to out situation. We never felt rushed or pressured and it was handled with care. They gave us good advice and was all handled swiftly and professionally. 10/10

Last Will & Testament

Having suffered v. serious illness requiring very serious treatment, I approached the making of a will feeling nervous and a little weak.

Looking back I cannot believe how efficiently, and with kindness the will was soon completed. I am completely happy with the result.

Very happy

The expert advice and service I received from Georgina was invaluable and ensured a very quick and fair outcome to my situation. She was always available to help and any queries were dealt with very speedily. She has an easy manner and I always felt that she had my interests and well being very much at the forefront of her mind. Costs were completely transparent from the start. I would thoroughly recommend Georgina and would like to thank her for her excellent service.

What a fabulous conveyancing team. We wanted to move house before Christmas, so like most people we were in a hurry to get the conveyancing done. We used Penny and her team about 10 years ago, she sorted out a "land locked" problem a previous Ipswich firm had not picked up on - I chose Prettys because I knew they covered every little detail and were a safe pair of hands. This time they picked up and sorted a land registry problem and despite the additional work and complications they got everything through in 8 weeks and hit the deadline. Thanks Prettys.
