Testimonials
Liz dealt with my late father’s estate with diligence and the utmost care. Her friendly yet professional manner was a pleasure to deal with.
Liz Crawford of Wollens has dealt with estates where a testator has left a legacy to charity. She has ensured that their wishes are carried out in a timely manner. The service she provided has been efficient and her communication throughout the administration has been excellent.
Living as we do in another part of the country, it was very important for us to have the fullest confidence in the people handling the work on our behalf. Liz and her team did that and more, we were always kept in the picture and informed of every important
Process made easy following death of my relative. Would recommend using Wollens to friends and relatives. The process was explained to me in a way I clearly understood what was being done. I used Solicitor Liz for Probate and Conveyancing office for sale of property.
Hi, I just wanted to leave a short review. We have used Wollens for the sale of my mums house and to help with the Probate on her estate and they have been superb every step of the process.
The way that Wollens dealt with my Late Father’s will and estate was excellent. They dealt with everything right down to the selling of the property. I found Liz Crawford easy to speak to and nothing was too much trouble. The same goes for the rest of the team.
