Handled my mothers passing and all the complicated 'officialdom', including house sale, that follows with consummate professionalism.

As executors for our late mother's estate, my brother and I engaged Risdon Hosegood. Our solicitor explained each step clearly and kept us up to date with all developments. Both of us live abroad, but in no way did that present any problems. We were both very satisfied that the whole legal process was handled efficiently with minimal stress.

A very professional service with a personal touch, that in the circumstances was very much appreciated. All the processes were efficiently completed in a very timely manner.
Excellent communication throughout. Will use again and highly recommend.

I was appointed Executor of their estate by someone who passed away in Australia. There were a number of complexities that a different Solicitor in another firm had failed to deal with promptly and adequately. I am immensely grateful that I transferred the file over to Bart Obszynski at Risdons who approached my case in a professional and diligent manner. His knowledgeable advice was considered and accurate. For these reasons I would recommend him to anyone who needs legal assistance with a Probate matter.

Professional, patient.

I used Risdons for both a tricky conveyancing and a more straightforward will writing. Both excellent experiences.

We only dealt with the receptionist(s) and our Solicitor Lindsey Challinor (who has now moved away), but even staff who were passing by whilst we waited for our appointment made sure we were being looked after.

The Administration of the Estate of my Late Husband

At the beginning of the process I found matters very stressful and daunting. However, Mr Balchin and Staff were so helpful and very patient when answering my many questions. I would not hesitate to recommend Risdons to any future client.

I found the whole procedure was dealt with very professionally. Wills are very complicated documents to complete, trying to ensure all our wishes for family are taken into account. I had a lot of queries dealt with and answered. Same with LPAs. To understand legal jargon is quite hard.

We chose Risdon because our developers recommended Kieron. He was very efficient and professional . I however wished he had explained things more to us since we were first time buyers and didn’t really know much. Maybe if my partner and I had asked more questions, we would have understood the process better. Anyway, the transaction went smoothly and we had no problems.

We are very happy with our experience of using Risdon Hosegood. They dealt with everything that was required in a highly efficient manner. We found the person dealing with our conveyancing, Megan, to be very helpful and friendly. She was quick to answer all of our questions and dealt with matters in a timely and professional way. Very grateful, she made what could have been a very stressful time much easier.
