We found the experience very straight forward throughout. Excellent friendly service and our solicitor explained everything in a way that made it easy to understand. We now have a comprehensive will with our assets protected for our family.

New replacement will’s

We required two mirrored wills to replace our old and outdated ones.
We had in our minds numerous concerns and questions and issues we did not understand.
We chose to go to a firm of solicitors but that in turn was a concern regarding the cost and if it would spiral!!
We had two video meetings in total, the first of which was a refreshing discussion with all our questions and misconceptions explained and enabled us to finalise how we wanted our will’s to be fulfilled. The second video call was to review the completed will’s, and they were first class.
As for the cost, there were no “spiralling costs, only a one off price which was very fare. All in all, one of our best decisions, a brilliant and very reassuring experience and outcome.

Wills, Trusts and bloodline inheritance very well explained

We wanted to have a will that protected the money we have from inheritance tax and care home fees. We also wanted to ensure our money went to our grandchildren when our daughters died.
Elise Rhodes clearly and simply explained what we could do and the limits of the will.
Elise contacted us again once we had the chance to read the draft wills to explain the legal language and to answer any questions we had.
We are now waiting for our redrafted wills with some small changes which we fully expect to sign.

Seen advertised on tv . And liked how they came across. Explaining how they drew up different wills. And decided they were the solicitors for us . Turned out we were right. Excellent choice. From start to finish our solicitor Elise . Was great . She listened to our wishes and was very
clear we understood what was explained to us . She made the whole process very easy and very happy with the wills she has drawn up for us
Have already recommended your company to other family and friends.
Thank you Elise . For a great job and for your patience

An excellent and professional service..
We wanted to update our wills and April King were recommended to us. Paul understood our requirements, using examples to ensure everything was clear, and guided us through the process in professional manner. He was able to suggest the correct clauses to include in our wills and on receipt Elise walked us through each clause to ensure everything was understood. We feel confident that April King will be able to assist our loved ones further whenever needed. A well deserved 5 star rating. Thank you.

We visited to update our wills in a face to face consultation with Catriona .
She impressed us as a confident and competent professional .
Catriona expressed herself with clarity of communication and, more importantly, in plain English.
She is very knowledgeable and informative and so we feel much relieved now we have consulted with her .
We believe her to be an excellent ambassador for the firm and we have no problem with highly recommending April King and will continue to use the firm as and whenever necessary.
It was a great pity that had to go to Nottingham to do it as their Leicester office is now closed.

About this branch

Description

Since 1991, we have led the way in estate planning and bespoke Wills tailored to protect your children and grandchildren's inheritance. As specialists in Wills and estate planning, we can help you understand and deal with issues like keeping inheritance in the family bloodline, future care fees, estranged children, remarriage implications, and why Lasting Powers of Attorney are so important. Our clients are often surprised to learn that standard Wills offer little or no guarantee that their children's inheritance will not pass sideways out of the family bloodline to potential predatory third parties, such as the Local Authority or a former son-in-law or daughter-in-law.
