Will and Estate of late husband
I made an appointment to see a Solicitor called Aimee Young regarding the above. She was very knowledgeable, friendly and professional and kept me well informed throughout the whole process. This was a difficult time for the family and she put me at ease. Would highly recommend Aimee and Thornton's.

The young solicitor sent by Thorntons to update my will was pleasant, quick and efficient in undertaking the task. She sent me drafts to correct and sorted out a slightly difficult Power of Attorney issue for me. I was happy with thee service provided.

We heard of Thorntons Law at Forfar through recommendation as we were moving to buy our home in Scotland. Lynne Macintyre was a wealth of knowledge & friendly experience and patiently steered us through the whole Scottish purchase process smoothly from start to finish. We would highly recommend Lynne Macintyre and Thornton’s Law for all conveyancing.
