I had put off making a will and setting up Lasting Power of Attorneys for many years as the LPAs seemed particularly... fiddly to sort out. I got in touch with The Probate and Will Service and Louise asked for all the required details (far fewer that I had expected) and she sorted everything out very efficiently. Two short visits were needed where she explained everything in clear and helpful detail and that was it, job done. Many thanks to Louise for a swift and reasonably priced service.read more

An excellent firm with exceptional service. Louise has a wealth of experience and knowledge when it comes to writing... wills, sorting out the interminable probate, liaising with solicitors/estate agents and tying up estates. She was a pleasure to work with being very efficient and thorough, as well as being friendly, calm and had an unending supply of optimism. I thoroughly recommend this firm and would happily use them again.read more

Having looked at a few Probate Services, Louise's kindness, professionalism and understanding really stood out amongst... the very corporate competition. This initial trust was well placed because the service was flawless. The complicated pile of correspondents we handed across was distilled into very clear components and the whole process simplified. This was invaluable at a difficult time. Highly recommended.read more

Louise is extremely knowledgeable, very helpful and patient, and does not use impenetrable legalese to write a legally... tight document. You won't need to get a solicitor to translate your own will to you. Highly recommended.read more

Thanks so much Louise, you've taken a big weight off our minds! Our situation was pretty complex, Louise broke it all... down into simple to understand chunks and did everything so professionally and quickly that we were really happy with both the work done, the price we paid and the speed with which she turned it all around. We will be recommending her services to everyone we know!read more
