Probate Advice

Following my husbands death I had no idea where to start with the seeming mountain of paperwork to be sorted. Visited Annaliese at R Reeds and came away from that feeling so relieved that I could at least see light at the end of the tunnel. Annaliese was kind, patient and very helpful, I will most definitely return for advice on my next steps.

Kind and Compassionate Throughout

5

Annaliese was very helpful, kind compassionate and professional. She was also very personable and friendly, putting us at our ease.
She guided us through the minefield of being an executor and the probate process, offering us the best advice possible.
She also helped us make our wills. Again, no simple matter, but it has given us peace of mind knowing that if the worst were to happen, our children will be well looked after and have less to worry about.
All the administration and reception staff we spoke to were also very professional, friendly and polite.
I would have no reservations recommending Richard Reed Solicitors to my friends and family.
Thank you to all.
