Will and Trust advice.
We recently needed to use Forbes and was advised to use Ashley Marshall. We couldn't have asked for a better service. He was warm, welcoming and put us at complete ease. His communication skills are excellent and he listened to exactly what we wanted and was able to arrange it. I have no hesitation in recommending his service and will definitely use him in the future if needed.

Excellent service
I contacted Forbes solicitors at Gordon House about my late father's estate as they were near to where I live and I was familiar with the name. Ashley Marshall contacted me and was extremely knowledgeable, empathetic and did not try to baffle me with the law but was upfront and straight. I did not feel rushed in our meetings and he was always very helpful and accommodating. A very efficient service and I would highly recommend this firm.

Excellent Service Creating a New Will
I contacted Forbes Solicitors to write a new Will. Ashley Marshall was assigned to my case. We had a 'Teams' call to discuss my requirements. Ashley clearly understood my situation and carefully explained various options and the Inheritance Tax implications. The draft Will that he produced was accurate. Then he arranged for me to sign the Will with witnesses at the Walton Summit office. Overall, the process was friendly and very professional.
