Obtaining Grant of Probate
This was a difficult process as the deceased will was not available due to the solicitors who originally held the will having gone into liquidation and the solicitors who had then taken over their affairs having bee closed down by the SRA Hence we tred for 10 months to chase same without avail, We then proceeded on the process of trying to obtain probate with a copy of the will which finally proved successful. At all times we were getting advice from David which greatly helped a long , but in the end successful process

Late Husband's Will & Estate
Following the passing of my Husband I required Bevirs to deal with my husbands will written in 2011. My first and subsequent meetings with David Neve alleviated any fears to a swift satisfactory conclusion. His advice was straightforward and highly professional.

Will re-write
The whole process was very smooth. The initial meeting was succinct, and the information provided exactly what I needed. The will signing was well managed. The final processes efficient. All in all my experience was positive and Mr Neve’s advice professional but not clouded with legal gobbledygook. All very good.

Great value for money - great service
We were dreading making a will due to having stepfamilies and a property portfolio and kept putting it off. We were quoted a very reasonable price from Bevirs and Mr David Neve who handled the matter for us, clearly explained the options and simplified the contents of the will to reflect our wishes without including unnecessary details. We were extremely happy with the whole process and would highly recommend this firm.
