My father's probate
TS&P were my Parents Solicitors for many decades, so they were an obvious choice for their probate.
When Dad passed away and we needed to sell the house, I spoke to Esther Lee and explained we wished for as speedy a Grant of Probate as we could get. We didn't ever meet, as I'm 100 miles from them, but Esther was amazing. She was precise and concise, and achieved exactly the quick conclusion I wanted. I don't hesitate in recommending them!
