WILLS AND LPAs
Both I and my wife found it a pleasure to place our instructions in the matter of our Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney with Mrs Rebecca Haywood to act for us. Our instructions were dealt with in a professional, thorough and timely manner representing great value for money. As a result we will have no hesitation in using McCarthy Webb Ltd for any legal work we may require to be undertaken on our behalf in future.

Preparation of LPA's

Will writing
We cannot praise highly enough the time care and attention Rebecca gave us in writing our will’s. Something that we had been putting off for a long time!
We would highly recommend Rebecca and the company for any legal service needed.

Will and LPA’s
Maccarthy Webb were recommended after my husband died, and I needed to amend my previous Will and organise LPA. I found this an emotional and difficult time but Rebecca was understanding and extremely helpful. She ensured that all documentation was completed as quickly as possible, thereby helping me to ‘move forward’ during a difficult and emotional time.
