Why should I make a Will?

A very common question. So many responses spring to mind when I think of this question. We all have very different lives, with priorities shifting and changing all the time.

Home Visit Wills

Why is a home visit from a Wills and Probate solicitor a good idea?

I pride myself as a uniquely placed and experienced solicitor; I am good with people and really enjoy getting to know my clients.
