Professional and Efficient Will Writing Service

5

Matt provided clear and unambiguous professional advice from the beginning as to what was involved and the costs of writing my will and preparing Lasting Powers of Attorney documents. He took time to understand my requirements and situation. I was then sent a summary of our discussion before proceeding. I found Matt to be sensitive to my needs, and the documentation produced was accurate, well presented and professional.

Pleased I chose Hansells

I am so pleased that I chose Hansells Solicitors to assist me with writing my Will. A friend recommended me to them, as she had a very positive experience with them. From making an appointment through to signing the whole process was fluid and efficient. All members of the Hansells Team I met were friendly supportive and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend them and will continue to use them in the future.
