I received excellent advice and service from Emma as always and the rest of Emma's Team.
As executor I employed Emma Priest of Redkite Law LLP to handle the legal side of administering the will. I was given an estimated date for the Grant of Probate right at the start and this proved to be correct almost to the day. I was very pleased with the way matters were dealt with, sometimes by email. The whole process went through very seamlessly and smoothly. I would recommend the service provided to anyone.
Emma and her team helped to deal with our late mothers estate as well as a deputyship order. They couldn’t do enough for you, and were always at the end of the phone in a very friendly and approachable manner. Can’t thank them enough.
I was delighted to once again have the pleasure of instructing Ms Emma to act for me. As always she was efficient professional, knowledgeable, and friendly pointing out eventualities that I would not have thought of. Thoroughly recommend.”
