My Will
I was very impressed with the way in which Helena, the solicitor, dealt with the writing of my Will. Took time to answer any questions. Can certainly recommend these solicitors.

Excellent service in every respect
We were updating and amending our wills which had not been reviewed since they were originally written 17 years ago. Mrs. Helena Grady gave us very good advice on a number of points of concern and guided us through the process very clearly and redrafted our wills very quickly. The charges were also very reasonable. We cannot recommend the service too highly.

Codicils
Swift and efficient. We arranged an interview at short notice and within days Helena Grady had drafted the Codicils which we required for both our Wills to bring them up-to-date. A final meeting had them witnessed and in place. She also worked in coordination with our investment advisor, Andrew Ball, to permit is to proceed with gifting from the liquidation of some of our investments.

Will
We researched many companies regarding the writing of our will. We chose Fogwill & Jones because the details regarding costs etc were very transparent. The service we received from Helena was exceptional, she explained the complicated will writing in a way that we could understand.

Excellent, clear and responsive service
My wife and I created simple mirror wills supported the Will Aid scheme. Helena Grady explained the process in sufficient detail and in understandable terms, not only ensuring our Wills were appropriate but also that we understood what we were doing. If we had done this ourselves we would have missed out on key nuance related to Wills that can only be obtained by solicitor drafting. We now feel secure and confident in our plans.

Probate service and administration.
Assisted by Helena (Solicitor) with a recent family probate case .
Absolutely first class and very professional help in our our moment of need.
Helena put us at ease with all the legal paperwork , closing of accounts , paying off outstanding bills etc. etc.
We would have really struggled without the help and understanding given to us all by Helena in closing a family members estate.
We would not hesitate in using Fogwill & Jones in the future if necessary and would definitely recommend to anybody to use their services in your hour of need.
Many many thanks.
Paul , Tina , Billy and families.

Wills
Helena helped us to prepare our wills. We were made very welcome at the office on both our visits and refreshments were offered on arrival.
All our correspondence to Helena was replied to promptly and relevantly.
Any questions we had were answered and explained, to enable us to make decisions and complete our wills.
Despite the topic of our visits, we had a pleasant experience, which was relaxed, personable and respectful.
