Deputyship for My Brother-in-Law

Sadly, the deputyship for my brother in law came to an end on his death in January 2025. Prior to that Shannon Fawdry handled his affairs efficiently and effectively. This included arranging insurance for the unoccupied family home and putting in place the necessary arrangements for property inspection. Ms Fawdry''s services are highly recommended.

2nd time lucky

Pauline Anning & Barry Boulton were helpful and friendly at every stage - they seemed genuinely disappointed when the first sale fell through and helped get the 2nd offer over the line.

Excellent probate service

Georgina dealt with the process of obtaining a Grant of Representation for our mother’s estate. We had a few challenges along the way (very old will, deceased executors, difficulty obtaining details of the estate etc) but Georgina took all of these in her stride and nothing was too much trouble. She was proactive in terms of engaging with and hastening the Probate Registry and we were very happy with the service provided. Thank you very much.

Incredible team and support from Wolferstans

I cannot speak highy enough of Vikki Martin and her team Rebecca Moloney and Alyssa Toghill. Understanding my situation and need for experienced solicitors Vikki kindly took over my case when she realised what we were dealing with. Having got matters under control, Rebecca Moloney then took the reins, in negotiations for my divorce finance settlement, her knowledge, advice, kindness, support (in and out of court) and humour made a difficult process really very easy. I felt totally at ease communicating thoughts or questions with her. Anytime of day or night she always replied promptly, alleviating any stress. Many thanks to Alyssa Toghill also, who was incredibly efficient supportive and helpful.
I am eternally grateful for this amazing team who navigated the process for me, with a successful outcome. I will always recommend.

I highly recommend this firm. Very professional, friendly and communicated extremely well, using no 'legalise'. Linda Woollams helped me through the entire process and she is so good at her job it's obvious she has more knowledge than most other solicitors appear to know.
