Head of Wealth & Succession Planning Team

Just a quick note to thank you very much for introducing me to Jeffrey. My mum and I met him last week. He’s so knowledgeable and experienced. We’re very very impressed with his travel achievements – 160 countries and counting.

Jeff was really wonderful and explained things really well to my mum and I. He is going to put together a couple of documents for us. Huge thanks to you for the introduction!

Probate Team: Thank you once again for your work on this. You have made a difficult and complicated process very easy to follow and we have very much appreciated and valued your guidance and advice. The whole service has been excellent and we have found you a pleasure to deal with. Thank you.

Probate Team – The route to this had appeared long and precarious!; but your timely intervention and deft touch turned it into a pleasant experience! I cannot thank you enough for your help.

Probate Team – I think it is your expertise, knowledge and communication skills that has made things easy for us to understand and to feel connected with what would otherwise be a complex situation.

Thank you so much for all of your help with the probate.

Elliott – It’s clear to me now that I should have employed you from the start. This is excellent and I am convinced this will be a successful application now, thanks to your expertise.

Honestly, this is awesome. I’m so excited!!

Thank you for your hard work with all this, it reads really well. I’m very happy. Thank you!

Jeffrey – you are truly amazing! Thank you so much.

Dear Jeffrey: I am extremely grateful for your calm voice and sound advice. You sorted out a multinational mess and kept my spirits up. If I make it to England we’ll go for a fine meal. All the best and thanks again. David

The Probate Team sorted out my will, I cannot recommend them highly enough, they are like an encyclopaedia when it comes to knowledge on Wills. I didn’t know much about wills but knew that it was really important for my children to be protected and looked after if anything happened to me. They went through all of the options available and consequences in order to advice me on the best options for my family. I changed my mind a few times, going backwards and forwards, they were really patient throughout. I now have total peace of mind in knowing that my children will be looked after if something terrible happens to me. Thank you so much!!

I met with the one of the team yesterday and instructed them on my will. I know people are more likely to write quickly to complain rather than give good feedback, so just want you to know that they are exceptional and a real credit to the business.
