Probate Under Covid-19

Amy dealt with my late Fathers estate on behalf of myself and my Mum. The whole process was conducted under the restrictions imposed by Covid (by phone, email and over video call). Amy was incredibly helpful and supportive at a very difficult time. She guided us through the probate process, was quick to reply to emails, helped us complete the relevant forms and waited patiently as I got our paperwork together. I can say with certainty that both myself and my mum would have no hesitation in recommending both Amy and Watkins & Gunn.

House and Property

On buying my first house, the property team made the experience smooth and relatively stress free. Explaining each step in the process and being open and honest about any questions I had, no matter how small.
I was constantly kept in the loop and felt that this team was on my side to make sure I got the best deal possible.

Thanks

Very impressive service, especially during current difficult times. I had a will drawn up by Danielle, very professional and quick. All done on line and via video calling. Danielle was very helpful throughout and nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend Watkins & Gunn for will writing services.

Dedicated personal care

I would never go to any other solicitors Watkins & Gunn are simply the best. Much better than all the rest my 84yr old mother had a nasty fall & Jade was very kind and most patient she adapted communication style to suit my mothers needs. In doing so she maintained my mother dignity which is a huge consideration. Jade was open & honest and did not bombard her with legal jargon. She was timely & efficient in all her communications and it’s a pleasure to say she is a gold standard Solicitor and I would recommend 100% without a doubt ⭐️⭐️⭐️My mother trusted her & had every faith in her ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Watkins & Gunn represented me in the sale my house in S Wales and following a 7 month gap, during which I searched and found my next home, represented me in the purchase of my new property. Watkins & Gunn were professional in both instances, and more importantly, kept me informed throughout and responded quickly to all my queries. All in all, a great service.
