Atkins Dellow LLP

Maia has excellent knowledge of the most up-to-date inheritance tax regulations and helped me with my estate planning.

I used Atkins Dellow to assist me with a very prolonged and complicated matter. Tim Colbran and Megan Boucher worked hard to resolve all aspects of the process and their invaluable advice and support was extremely helpful and appreciated. I would definitely recommend their service to anyone with similar relationship/matrimonial/property dilemmas. Atkins Dellow as a whole have exceeded themselves in resolving my matter and I am extremely appreciative of their services. Thank you.

The first time I’ve bought a brand new house on my own, but I received plenty of help, understanding and empathy. Lots of things I had to have explained which were actually straightforward but Emily showed great patience and gave me confidence.

Positives
1. Once everything was in place, moved to completion quickly and efficiently.
2. The sale and purchase of the houses happened

Negatives:
1. When we first asked them to deal with the sale and purchase of the properties, we heard nothing about the purchase for 2 months. We knew searches could take a while to come back & it was over Christmas, so we accepted a bit of a delay. When we spoke to them, it turned out that searches had never been started because the selling estate agent had never submitted a memorandum of sale. We therefore had to pull out of that purchase due a deadline & move for another house. I would have expected the solicitor to proactively tell us that much earlier, as we could have moved for another house sooner & saved money on the stamp duty tax rise.
2. Generally felt that we were often chasing them & they weren't keeping us informed
3. The solicitor misread part of the covenant of the house that we were purchasing & we had to go back to them and clarify this with them
4. Frustrated that they wouldn't accept eSignatures on documents and we had to post everything back to them

Mama was very helpful and professional with the will writing process.

Couldn't ask for anything better. Totally professional, understanding my needs to perfection.
Why wouldn't anyone use them?

Very quick to respond to queries and issues I had. Would also reach out as soon as they had any updates. I definitely recommend!

We found Maia Creed at Atkins Dellow very friendly and easy to talk to. Arranged will updates and organised LPA’s for my husband and myself very easily. Making life easier for our daughters in the future.

From the first meeting with Maia Creed to the last meeting signing off my new Will I was treated with respect, with patience and calm. This young lady was professional, courteous and knowledgeable offering clear detailed guidance throughout.

There are times in life when you’re out of your depth, feeling unable to comprehend what needs to be done, or where to start.

Friendly, professional support is what you really need and the team at Atkinsdellow provided exactly that for our family following the deaths of our parents.

The responsibilities of Executors are complex and onerous and we would recommend engaging the AD team, either for advice, or as your professional executor.

Maia led the team in driving the process and supporting us to understand each step, giving us the reassurance that every detail was being taken care of, and keeping us fully updated.

In parallel we also worked with Atkinsdellow to put in place our own Wills and Powers of Attorney to ensure our children have the tools to manage our affairs when the time comes in future.

Grieving is difficult enough, without the burden of dealing with the role of Executor, so we strongly recommend seeking the peace of mind that Maia Creed and the Atkinsdellow team can bring you in your darkest days.

Maia and the team have our sincere thanks for their personal touch and a job well done.
