Excellent advice and support from Helen Salisbury in sorting out my Will and also guiding me through the Powers of Attorney process / and documentation with full explanation of everything. Made evrything easy to understand and follow and to pull together from an initial meeting.

I have always found the service received from Nelsons over the years to be professional, personal, efficient and caring. Advice and help have been willingly given and time taken to listen and respond to questions thoughtfully. I have no hesitation in recommending Nelsons who have dealt with my affairs conscientiously and expediently.

Excellent service from Jane [Sutherland] at Nelsons Leicester. Jane helped us through the process we required quickly, efficiently and was very friendly and helpful. I will definitely be using Nelsons again and would highly recommend them.

The service provided included handling a relative's finances(their enduring power of attorney), and the subsequent management of probate and the estate. My relative's wellbeing and financial peace of mind were at the forefront at every instance. Jane Sutherland and her team handled all aspects including the estate (which was long and complicated by European inheritance legalities), in a highly professional and efficient manner. We could not recommend the whole service highly enough.
