Making a Will
Rowena was absolutely lovely, she was very considerate and understanding of my situation. Rowena asked me some questions and listened carefully to what I was saying, and therefore worded the Will in a way that said what I wanted it too. Thank you so much Rowena for being there for me.

Wet please with their Wills Service
After completing our house sale and purchase, we decided to update our LW&T. We received excellent service from MBH for our conveyance, so we chose their recommended Wills writing service. We were very impressed with the quality of service provided by Rowina of MBH, who was friendly, patient, and explained the legal aspects of the process thoroughly.
Thank you so much!

Free Will Scheme
My husband and I opted to update our wills through the Free Wills Service. McCarthy Bennett Holland Solicitors contacted us after we submitted an application through our chosen charity, Wigan and Leigh Hospice. The legal process was explained fully by Rowena Foat and all of our questions answered. There was no charge. We gave a voluntary donation to Wigan and Leigh Hospice instead. Thank you MBH for a fantastic service!
