Client Feedback
“Talking me through step by step and giving clear advice on areas I felt unsure of enabled me to complete my will with confidence.”
“Our requirement was to have new wills written, with the objective of minimising inheritance tax. The circumstances were not entirely straightforward; however, Carl Ingram is an expert in this field and came up with a very satisfactory solution. We particularly liked his approach of providing a written summary after the first meeting outlining the options.”
“Producing a will is a daunting task, always appears to be complicated and difficult to know what is the right will. The way Carl approached us and the way on how to create our wills was explained, put us at ease immediately. The whole process was unrushed, not over complicated and not pushy. All our requirements were met, leaving us with total satisfaction that our estate will be distributed as we wish on our demise. From start to finish, it was simple, stress free and met all our requirements.”
