Family Name: Vickery
Location: Devon
Background
In April 2022 my father passed away. He lived in a remote village in Dartmoor and I am a resident of Spain. My sister lives in Cambridge. My father’s second wife had passed away several years earlier but had not used her entire allowance. Obviously, we needed a responsive Probate service to guide us through the process without allowing the geographical complexities to get in the way. Losing someone you love is hard enough without having to worry about how to handle the estate taxation situation.
How Laurelo Helped
Laurelo came highly recommended and we reached out to them. Literally within minutes they responded and shortly after we talked on the telephone. Michael and his firm epitomise refreshing, honest and open communication. A very reasonable fee was outlined. No hidden extras and no unwanted surprises. The process from that point on was pretty painless and we were able to deal with all the other issues, confident that the probate process was in safe hands.
Why They Were Different
Dealings with the legal world I have found to be generally difficult, laborious, full of technical jargon and frankly outrageously expensive. None of this can be levelled at Laurelo. The end result speaks for itself. I am certain a less expert Probate solicitor would not have achieved what Michael did for us.
