Help with Wills, LPAs and administration after my Wife's death
I have always found McCarthy Webb extremely professional and helpful. The advice and guidance they have given me in respect to my LPAs and Will has been sound. Lately, after my wife past away they were very supportive and completed the Probate and changes to the Land Registry for my property.
I would thoroughly recommend McCarthy Webb, they are professional, efficient and a pleasure to deal with.

WILLS AND LPAs
Both I and my wife found it a pleasure to place our instructions in the matter of our Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney with Mrs Rebecca Haywood to act for us. Our instructions were dealt with in a professional, thorough and timely manner representing great value for money. As a result we will have no hesitation in using McCarthy Webb Ltd for any legal work we may require to be undertaken on our behalf in future.
