Eaton Smith LLP - Administration of Estate

Following the death of a close family relative brought me into close contact with Eaton Smith. They were solicitors for my late aunt, and for my part, in particular, Megan Quigley who was appointed to administer the winding up of my late aunt’s estate. Her initial guidance and advice laid the foundations for an excellent relationship as we negotiated each part of winding up my aunt’s estate after applying for probate; the sale of properties in England and Scotland and the sale of shares in Australia was in a coordinated and orderly fashion. As the Executor, Megan was always available whenever required and attentive to any task in hand. My family and I have nothing but praise for Megan and her team at Eaton Smith for their professionalism and due diligence throughout our dealings. Collectively our grateful thanks to all involved at Eaton Smith LLP.

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience. We are truly grateful for your thoughtful feedback. We are pleased to hear that Megan provided clear guidance and consistent support during what can be a challenging and emotional process. Managing an estate that includes multiple properties and international assets can be complex, and it is wonderful to know that Megan’s approach helped make everything as smooth and well‑coordinated as possible. We will make sure your kind words are passed on to her. Thank you again for entrusting us with such an important matter.

A highly rated service

From the moment of contacting Eaton Smith, to enquire if I could appoint them as my solicitors for the sale of a woodland which I owned, I was reassured. They were helpful, personable and well informed. I got given an estimate of what the work would cost and I'm pleased to say that figure was kept to. All staff involved were truly helpful and did their best to keep me informed at all times. Ian, Martha and Anne in particular, you outdid my expectations and I would and will happily retain your services f o r any future legal matters Thank you all enormously for a happy ending.

Family Court Orders

I highly recommend Eaton Smith for family court matters. Throughout my case, the solicitors maintained regular contact with me and kept me fully informed at every stage of the process. They clearly explained what would happen next, which helped ease a very stressful situation. Lindsay was especially supportive and professional throughout. Due to the domestic violence-related issues involved in my case, she would often contact me outside of normal office hours when necessary, which I truly appreciated. Lindsay listened attentively, gave honest and professional advice, and always made me feel valued and heard. Thanks to their support, I successfully obtained a Child Arrangements Order – Live With and a Prohibited Steps Order. I am also continuing to work with Eaton Smith regarding my civil divorce and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing family law support.

Tenant dispute and neighbour blocking the right of way out of garden.

I found Abeeba very professional and very helpful in achieving the successful out come of The Tenant giving notice instead of me having to take her to court and making the neighbour remove the fence that blocked the right of way. She also was successful in getting the E/H to close the case they opened about petty complaints that when diagnosed were not justified, as one item they were asking me to commit a criminal damage of the neighbours property.

James Johnston dealt with my personal injury claim. I shall miss his emails - I thoroughly enjoyed how he presented me with options - allowing me to make choices that were right for me as he worked through my claim following my accident. He was also very efficient and responsive to any emails I sent. I would be very happy to recommend to anyone dealing with their personal injury claim
