Probate / IHT
I went to Lorna for assistance with the IHT aspects of my mother’s estate. I was happy to prepare the IHT return but wanted to get it reviewed by a specialist. Lorna did a very thorough job and identified a significant tax saving. Her report was comprehensive and her fees were reasonable. I would definitely recommend her and use her again.

Top service on new wills
Due to a change in family circumstances, my wife and I decided to get new wills drafted and our financial adviser strongly recommended Aquabridge's Lorna Bastian. Our expectations were therefore high, but Lorna managed to surpass them! A pleasant and professional phone meeting, in which she quickly grasped our needs and gave sterling advice, was followed by a quick and accurate drafting job. Thanks, Lorna - we'll be back!
