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.

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.

Estate Handling

My experience with Julie and Eaton Smith has been excellent. An extremely close family member of mine had unfortunately passed away and her estate was handled by Julie. I didn't know really know or understanding of how a Will worked but Julie was able to walk me through the process step-by-step and give me a lot of reassurance throughout. I don't believe the service could have been better from start to finish, I was kept in the loop with all of the goings on, and knew that the estate was being handled with the proper due diligence and care that it required. I cannot recommend Julie and Eaton Smith enough regarding estate handling and I know from this experience that would handle any other legal matters exactly the same.

M&A share sale

Chris ensured that I was fully informed at all stages of the legal aspects of the sale of my business shares to a large European group, explaining concisely and clearly at all times. His professional, open and friendly approach also ensured all interested parties stayed on course and completed the sale a few days before target with minimal fuss. I would highly recommend Chris and his team at Eaton Smith to others going through a similar situation. His attention to detail

I used Nick Berry’s services following an accident at work. He was very helpful and communicated well throughout the process. He answered all my questions and although the case seemed to take forever to conclude, he was successful with negotiation and I was very happy with the outcome. I would definitely use him again if I needed to .
