Wills and LPAs

I found the whole procedure was dealt with very professionally. Wills are very complicated documents to complete, trying to ensure all our wishes for family are taken into account. I had a lot of queries dealt with and answered. Same with LPAs. To understand legal jargon is quite hard.

From the start, our situation was treated with sympathy and understanding. The appoint solicitor, Bart Obszynski, explained the procedures and requirements for dealing with my request! Every assistance was given and the matter dealt with in a kind and efficient manner. A great deal of help was given to negotiate the huge task of settling the Will and estate involved. We, as a family, are grateful for Bart's meticulous work.

We are very happy with our experience of using Risdon Hosegood. They dealt with everything that was required in a highly efficient manner. We found the person dealing with our conveyancing, Megan, to be very helpful and friendly. She was quick to answer all of our questions and dealt with matters in a timely and professional way. Very grateful, she made what could have been a very stressful time much easier.
