Rewrite of will

Having had dealings with Sian previously on matters pertaining to my late Father’s will, I was very happy that Sian was appointed to help me rewrite my own. I find Sian extremely personable, straight forward and easy to deal with.

Patient, good advice

Sian listened carefully to my wishes, and gave me clear understandable options in a timely manner. I needed to send back the draft document several times because of errors of detail (eg spelling, facts, addresses), and because of a misunderstanding of a specific request. These were always dealt with promptly and professionally. That said, the address on the letter posted to me still had an inaccurate spelling.
