We have been dealing with Ruth for the last 12 months and she has kept us informed of every aspect of my late cousins will and estate whether it was by post or personal phone calls.He has been so professional in explaining everything in detail thus taking a lot of pressure off ourselves. We will miss her immensely but would not hesitate to use her again and recommend any one to use her services.

Administration and handling of the late Barbara Stokes Estate

It was quite a large estate having many different types of investments including a property. To me it seemed to be quite a daunting proposition but on meeting Ruth back in 2023, I found her very professional but also approachable. All questions I asked were answered promptly and efficiently which gave me confidence that everything was being dealt with correctly. Overall as co executor of the estate I can happily say that Ruth’s handling of what was quite a large and messy (to me) estate took a lot of pressure off the whole process. As my family has had dealing with Higgs for many many years I can honestly say I ham happy with your standard of service and would recommend anyone to use your company.

Over the course of 5 years, we appointed Higgs & Sons to act as a professional deputy. Unfortunately, our experience was consistently marked by poor communication, significant delays, and a lack of professionalism. Despite the firm charging approximately £12,000–£15,000 per year for what were simple administrative duties, timely responses to calls or emails were rare. Although Nicholas Moxon was named as the appointed deputy, we did not receive a single email or telephone call from him during the entire period. All communication was instead routed through Claire Whittall and Katie Chance, both of whom were frequently unresponsive and, at times, discourteous. On one occasion, after receiving no replies, I drove nearly two hours to the firm’s office, only to be handed documents by a receptionist while the relevant staff members declined to meet. The deputyship accounts were also significantly behind schedule—approximately two years overdue. Given the level of fees being charged, it is essential that these accounts are scrutinised by the Senior Courts Costs Office to ensure they are legitimate and proportionate. Following my mother’s passing, we expected a degree of sensitivity and efficiency. Instead, even simple enquiries regarding arrangements for a modest funeral required repeated follow ups. The funeral directors were not paid promptly, and we were again left to chase for updates. Despite the minimal communication during this period—amounting to only a few emails—Higgs & Sons sought to charge £3,389.40 for “extensive involvement.” In correspondence, Katie Chance stated: “Following your mother’s death there was extensive involvement to assist the executors in understanding the current position and to try and progress matters. The work completed from the date of death to date currently stands at £3,389.40… However, given the value of the estate, I am happy to agree to a 10% reduction of these fees as a gesture of goodwill.

Will start by saying that I received excellent service from the business conveyancing department. The wills and probate team however is a completely different story. I am writing this review to urge anyone considering using this company for their wills to reconsider. My father instructed them as trustees in the event he passed away, in good faith, and he would turn in his grave if he knew what I have been put through by this company. There is too much to even write in here but he passed nearly 4 years ago, and matters are still not resolved. They ignore you, promise responses/call backs and fail to deliver. They've made numerous mistakes and forgotten to give information meaning I've been pressured to make decisions with no time to consider due to deadlines. This is from the director of this department, who I am dealing with as the original solicitor was awful too. I know this may sound like I'm just some nightmare customer but I assure you this isn't the case. Other professionals (accountant etc) have been astounded by the incompetency and downright shoddy service by what is supposed to be a well respected company. I honestly would hate anyone's family to go through this, especially at such an already difficult time. Please at least consider other options because no one wants to think of their loved ones being put through so much stress and anxiety. I leave 2 stars only because the commercial conveyancing department were excellent. The wills and probate team deserve 0 stars based on the "service " I've receieved

Sale of property

The sale of my property has been particularly difficult due to the initial buyer’s disproportionate enquiries and then pulling out of the sale without notification. Sam dealt with the various issues raised efficiently and in a straight forward manner. When the property sold for a second time, Sam was again efficient, attentive, gave straight forward advice and dealt with issues quickly. I found Sam to be supportive and helpful.

It’s great to know you felt supported and that both transactions were dealt with promptly and effectively. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Clinical Negligence

Medical Negligence is emotional, Higgs LLP made it easier to endure

I felt utterly overwhelmed by my case, but with Higgs LLP, namely Clare Langford and Mia Clews by my side it made it easier to bear. With their guidance, support and professionalism throughout including their empathetic understanding. They were always available to talk and explain all of the legal technicalities. Thanks to their tireless persistence I, or should I say they have achieved a favourable outcome. I will be forever grateful for their dedication.
