Grant of probate
Risdons provided an efficient and professional service during what was a very stressful and emotional time for our family.
They ensured that probate was granted efficiently and promptly and their communication was faultless.
Many thanks to Huge and his team.

Hugh completed our joint wills and also our LPA’s.
He was so helpful and patient with our questions and queries, and great advice given. We would use Risdons again without hesitation.

I cannot recommend Risdons highly enough! From the moment I contacted them, they were professional, responsive, and incredibly supportive. They explained everything clearly at each step of the process and made what could have been a stressful situation feel completely manageable.
My solicitor was knowledgeable, proactive, and genuinely cared about achieving the best outcome for us. Communication was prompt and transparent throughout. Every question I had was answered quickly and thoroughly, and I always felt like I was in safe hands.
Thank you to you both so much. Truly fantastic service!

During the process, the Risdons email server was hacked by criminals. As a result, we received the wrong instructions for paying a large amount. Now Risdons refuses all cooperation and does not want to compensate for the damage.
They are old-fashioned and use temporary staff. They do not take any responsibility and sometimes it takes weeks before you hear that the person handling your case has left. In the meantime, nothing happens and you are left to your fate.
Be careful what you do if you take advice from this office.

There's an old Somerset saying 'Never use Risdons' this bore truth on our recent sale of Laburnum Cottage. When all documents have been provided 2 months prior to enable a transfer, Risdons managed to avoid doing anything until the very last minute even though they had been told there was an urgent need to get the completion done. Somehow they lost one half of an electronic document and blamed the other solicitors. Then lied that the other solicitor was holding them up.
NEVER USE RISDONS

When buying our first house at the end of last year we chose Risdon, thank god we did! The team at Minehead were so helpful. Catherine and Andrew were brilliant and efficient and our experience was seamless. Thank you for making our experience a pleasant one.

Paula from Risdon Hosegood in Taunton acted for our sale and purchase in Yeovil. We were delighted with the service and found everyone friendly and extremely helpful. Even when we thought we had hit a brick wall with a legal issue it was sorted out quickly effectively and efficiently and we were given great communication. We would highly recommend the company and use them again in the future.
