    Receiving our Dad’s financial legacy marks a truly momentous culmination for our family of nearly 14 months of endeavour to correct Dad's Will and execute his true wishes. Dad (and Mum) have bequeathed to us such loving legacies, which shall make such a huge difference to us all. We also hope that the three charities Dad supported are pleased with the donations that they receive.

    We thank you (and your team) so very much for your expert guidance and support, highly professional but always with a personal and friendly approach.

    Sarah went way above and beyond the role of 'solicitor' when dealing with my case! Her personal touch, commitment to my relative and the advice and support she provided to me was so much more than just ‘doing her job’. Sarah has been incredibly helpful and just seems to manage problems – nothing is too big to overcome!

    May I take this opportunity of thanking you personally for your support to my stepmother whilst she was alive, for the work you have put into her estate and for guiding us through our job as Executors so skilfully; you have really made it a largely effortless process from our point of view.
