Like a lot of people my will was at bottom of to do list .
Like a lot of people , reviewing my will was at the bottom of my to do list , in part because I wasn’t sure who to go with to get a good service , however I spoke to Phillip and he walked me through all my needs from a will , explaining thoroughly how the trust I had would work and at the end he concluded that the one I had was sufficient and able to do what I wanted , he even checked this over for me .
I would not hesitate to recommend .
