Wills, Trusts & Probate

Review of Solicitor services dealing with my Dads estate.

My Dad had his Will held with Stoneking in Bath so when he sadly died in July last year it made sense to ask Stoneking solicitors to help with probate as neither my brother or I felt able to do it ourselves. We first met with Kristian Rogers and Solomon Callen but mainly dealt with Kristian. He explained exactly what would be needed to complete the probate process and followed everything up with emails so I had everything in writing. Kris kept me informed at each stage of the process and I knew if I wanted to ask him something or I didn’t understand things he would talk me through so I would understand. Kris was always easy to get hold of and he would always message me back promptly when I emailed him. Kris was very professional, extremely approachable and very good at his job, I wouldn’t hesitate in using Stoneking if I need Solicitor services in the future. Thank-you Kris and Soloman for helping make an extremely difficult time a little more bearable.

Grant de bonis non application

I was in the difficult position of having to apply for a Grant de bonis non. Due to my father dying 6 days before completion of a house sale. Kristen Rodgers from Stone King dealt with this for me. I have nothing but praise for the way it was handled. Vl

Wills/Estate/LPAs

Excellent advice on wills and estate review. Overpriced handling of LPAs. Solicitor friendly, efficient and delightful to deal with. To commission a straightforward admin task as are LPAs was wrong…could easily have been performed by a lower tariff legal assistant.

Excellent Service through difficult times

I have been a client of Stone King since 2017 when my parents were taken into care. I had to sell the family home - not pleasant when both were still alive but not aware. With both now having died Stone King has been a great help in dealing with the estate and taking a lot of the administration off my shoulders. I would strongly recommend Stone King!

Terrible.. used Luke Watson for an estate issue and he was useless and racked up a £20k bill for nothing. Did a better job myself and estate issue involving breach of poa and fraud now dealt with by a professional expert solicitor. All solicitors will tell you they can deal with an issue and take your money, especially this one. He tells the same old story over and over again about three brothers. My advice dont go near this one.

I have been dealing with Stone King LLP for a number of years and found them to be very helpful, resourceful and willing to go the extra mile for me as a client. I have used them for trust, wills and probate work and in handling my rather messy divorce. If you are looking for a top quality local law firm then you really should visit Stone King first.

Family Law

Fails to meet “reasonably skilled” service

Took a retainer at start of instruction. Failed to read key documents provided to them repeatedly. charged thousands of pounds for “perusal of documents” , which did not include recording the most important evidence from key item .. Repeatedly invoiced and charged for perusal of documents .. which didn’t actually include reading them . Fails to meet legally defined “reasonably skilled service” , enforces contract and steals money when questioned over their failure to deliver their part of the contract. Lacks moral compass.

Philip Askew was incredibly professional throughout the purchasing process, and was paramount in helping me complete on time. Without his careful eye and knowledge, I am certain we would have been delayed significantly. He was also very clear at explaining the finer details of the Barbican estate, and was very responsive replying to various questions I had during the purchase. Moreover there were several issues that would have meant I could be liable for significant future expenses that he identified and found solutions for. I would highly recommend Philip and his team.

Subject: Thank You for an Amazing Work Experience Dear Stone King Team, I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for allowing me to complete my work experience with your firm. I had such a valuable and enjoyable time, and I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity. Everyone I met was so welcoming, supportive, and kind—it truly made the experience even more memorable. The team created such a positive and encouraging environment, and I learned so much simply by observing the professionalism and friendliness of everyone around me. I hope Darcy Beauchamp and the others see this Thank you again for making me feel so included and for sharing your time and knowledge. It’s an experience I won’t forget, and it’s further inspired me to pursue a future in law. Warm regards, Sandy Saeful
