    “An initial meeting was held where we requested Mrs Nesham to produce mirrored Wills for myself and my wife. The details of the Wills were discussed in depth, guidance offered by Mrs Nesham, and agreement reached on their final content. A further meeting was held to review the wills produced, which were then signed and witnessed. We have subsequently received copies of the wills. ”
