Making my Will

5

Maxine who was my initial contact did a great job at explaining options and price points and I did not feel pressure to commit but also felt my custom was important and my emails were quickly responded to. Sophie and the Tozers team were very welcoming when I came in to do my will. The reception team and Sophie welcomed myself and my daughter, and were very patient with us and helped me find an alternative entrance with the pushchair. Sophie made the making of the Will very simple and helped me understand, answered questions I had and also made suggestions. Sophie saw us out the building and met me with my passport after, and even accommodated a last minute change of plans for me to come and sign the will. The making and sending of the will was very quick and I was given many opportunities to make amendments and again no time pressure to sign or to make payment before I was 100% happy. All round I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Sophie or the team.

Sophie dealt with amendments I wished to make to my Will. As I had moved away from Devon, this was all dealt with remotely. I was impressed with how smoothly the whole process went and how responsive Sophie was to any queries.
