The responsibility of being an executor for someone you hold in the highest regard is a daunting prospect. Having a trusted sibling by your side helps but even with the simplest of wills, the process is a legal quagmire. That is where Gareth and Jo came in. What my brother and I were most impressed with was their professional integrity. They empowered us to do as much as we could and enabled us to understand the legal framework by explaining all the terminology in language we could understand. Face to face communication for us, is always our first choice but in a pandemic, this option was taken away from us but both Gareth and Jo navigated us through it superbly. I would highly recommend this team to anyone with the reassurance you will be treated fairly and with the upmost respect.
