Updating Will
I didn't hesitate in contacting Lindsey having used her services 9 years ago, for a Will and Powers of Attorney. I've just had her update my Will. I find her very patient and understanding. Nothing is too much trouble for her.

Future planning
Looking to arrange a new Will and lasting powers of attorney, Lindsey Ottywill of Barker Gotelee was extremely helpful throughout the process. Yes, I know these are things you can do yourself, but it is not easy to avoid possible pitfalls in wording your wants accurately and importantly -legally - especially with the various permutations of the modern day family. That's what Barker Gotelee does best. Thank you.

Will writing
I was very nervous about writing a Will but Lindsey talked me through it. We kept it simple and she explained things very well. I also liked the wish list. This will be good to upkeep, if necessary. Location was good too as was parking.

Changing solicitors & updating Wills & LPA/EPA
Our previous solicitor had sold its client base to another party and the new solicitor wanted to do everything by phone. This led to errors and missed appointments, so we moved to Barker Gotelee. This was a painless exercise and we had face to face meetings with our solicitor, and the whole thing was undertaken quickly and efficiently. We would recommend Barker Gotelee and certainly use them again.

Trustworthy and super efficient
Our whole experience was seamless. Lindsey was so helpful and made it stress free. The whole matter of renewing our wills was done in a very short time. We will continue to use Barker Gotelee for any transactions and have used them for many years for purchase and sale of properties.

I would highly recommend
I cannot recommend Lindsey and Nicola highly enough. Throughout a difficult and often painful process they made everything so much easier to navigate. Their professionalism, understanding, and unwavering support were invaluable and they truly went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. They turned what could have been an overwhelming experience into something much more manageable, and for that, I am deeply grateful.
