I also dealt with Sue McLeod. They were both very helpful, efficient and supportive through the whole process of administering my late father's estate right from the initial valuation for IHT, through gaining probate and selling his property. They have kept me fully informed, made it clear what I needed to do and it has been very reassuring to have them alongside me. Thank you to then and the team.
A representative from Hart Brown responded to this review on 12 August, 2025:
This is the seamless experience we want our clients to have, especially when using more than one legal service at a time. Thank you so much for leaving this great feedback and we look forward to helping you again in the future if you ever need us.

Re review on Google - "Very good experience regarding probate on my mother's estate and subsequent conveyancing for the sale of the property. Seamless interface between the two and Hart Brown will now complete the admin of the estate. I've found dealing with the company to be hassle free, with good communication and an efficient and friendly service."

This has been my first experience using Hart Brown solicitors and I am very pleased I picked them.
The task involved was to update an old Trust settlement which was not altogether straightforward working with 40 year old documents and correspondence.
Emily provided clear and concise information on the process involved, options to consider, and showing an exemplary attention to detail.
Altogether I am very pleased with the service I have received from Hart Brown, safe in the knowledge that this task has been completed both properly and professionally.
I have no hesitation in using Hart Brown in future and when it comes to Trusts and Wills I would highly recommend their services.

We used Hart Brown, specifically; Debbie (a partner), to sell our property. From the onset, they were receptive, efficient and particularly informative. I felt confident with their expertise and felt I could rely on them to respond to, and resolve, any potential issues with the sale. As I sold this property from abroad, I was concerned this might cause problems. It did not. Debbie has been excellent, addressing questions and queries with factual, succinct responses, which allowed the sale to go ahead with relative ease. Thank you very much Hart Brown - we will be sure to turn to you again, should we require any legal services.
A representative from Hart Brown responded to this review on 03 March, 2025:
Thank you so much for this wonderful review. We will be pleased to help you again in the future if you should need us. Debbie and the team will be so pleased to see your feedback.

I needed a solicitor to certify copies of a Power of Attorney for me this week and despite being told by another local solicitor that this could only be done if they had produced the original Hart Brown were more than helpful, saving me a trip to Guildford
