I have recently (summer 2024) used Ms Karen Healy, at Bates Wells & Braithwaite Solicitors, as the conveyancer to deal with the probate sale of my late mother’s property in Ipswich. The fees were clearly set out in writing at the start of the process and were very reasonable. My email enquiries/instructions were acted on promptly. The sale was completed very efficiently and there were no “hidden” costs incurred. The net sale proceeds were paid into my bank account on the same day that the sale was completed. I am very happy with the service provided by Ms Healy.

I was very happy with the way things were handled. It was a difficult situation, as it was my mother-in-laws esstate and my wife passed away before the estate was finalised. Also I live in Scotland. However I felt that Olivia kept me in the loop all along via email, letters which explained things clearly, and the occasional phone where required. Thank you for all the assistance.

Lisa was really helpful, gave me lots of good advice and help and was very professional throughout.

Lindsey was informative and knowledgeable and provided a personal service throughout and was ably assisted by Nicola , Angie and Lara with the handling of our Father's Will , our Mother's life trust and the sale of their property

I have used this company on many occasions since 2016, I have never been anything but satisfied with the professional service and communication. My personal solicitor within the company was Samantha Bushell and thanks to her experience she was a send to me. She dealt with a very difficult divorce also a probate issue and my will. She works tirelessly for her client. I have recommended her services and will definitely use this company again.

I recently instructed Keith Holland of Smith and co to deal with the will and probate matters relating to my late step father. I can’t thank him enough for the thoroughly professional and dignified manner in which he dealt with both myself and my mother at a very difficult time. He was always at the end of the line, was prompt and thorough with his written communication and made recommendations in the best interest of my family at all times. We would not hesitate as a family to recommend or indeed use this company again.
