Samantha, I am overcome with emotion, thank you. You have been amazing. I know I could not have done it without your help and advice. You have certainly helped get me through the hurdles along the way. I cannot think of using anybody but yourself if in the future I need advice.

Excellent Service from Katie Lane – We approached Crane & Staples to write our wills following a recommendation from a couple of friends who had received good service. We met with Katie and cannot fault the service we received from her, extremely professional, polite and knowledgeable. Explained everything in easy to understand language and wills now written and signed.

Georgie, may I take this opportunity to thank you again for all your help and advice both prior to my late mother’s death and throughout the administration of the estate. The service you have given us has been outstanding. Your responses to our enquiries have always been extremely prompt and helpful, giving us straightforward and practical advice to enable us to deal with her somewhat complex affairs. I am particularly conscious of the considerable work and effort that must have been involved in progressing the application for probate so quickly, to minimise the delay in us being able to progress the sales of her house and flat. There were numerous financial and other institutions that needed to be contacted and getting the necessary information from them was made significantly more difficult by the prevailing Covid restrictions. Your calm, efficient, meticulous and friendly approach to all matters has been a great support and comfort, and we are most grateful for everything that you have done for us.

Our family has used Crane and Staples (who were named as executors on our father’s Will) through a very complex probate process involving five separate jurisdictions. David Bird has been a steady pair of hands, giving wise counsel at stressful times. He has been methodical and efficient, quietly getting the job done.
