I met with Chris mills to produce a will, he was very professional and explained everything really well, he answered all of my questions and made sure i understood every detail regarding making a will. He took his time to understand my situation and gave me the best outcome which works for me as well as giving me chance to have a think about the fine details in between making me feel at ease regarding what choices to make when preparing the will. It was never rushed and he gave me the oppprtunity to think over other details and has said we are able to make adjustments in the future. Would highly recommend Chris and his company for wills.

The initial appointment with Tim Preston was good though from needing a straightforward will which was advertised from £59 to being advised to do family trust and LPA ar a cost of £2995 I am still trying to justify such an outlay

The gentleman that came was very helpful and not pushing you into anything you did not want. Very satisfied with the will and also glad to have it stored safely. Still waiting for land registry but know it takes longer to process. Thank you (Phyllis) Valerie Smith

We had a home visit by Sharon Stephenson a Paralegal from The Planning Bee

We had a home visit by Sharon Stephenson the Paralegal from The Planning Bee. She has been so helpful and friendly. She had taken time to explain the process of the legal documents, which before speaking to her we had felt overwhelmed by. She kindly made another home visit to go through the documents again and help us finalise the signing of them. Thank you Sharon for your patience and help.

We contacted the Planning Bee to…review wills and LPA's.

We contacted the Planning Bee to enquire about making new wills and Legal Powers of Attorney. There representative Nick came to our home and gave us a complete run down on everything we needed to make our estate secure for our children. There was no hard sell tactic just friendly unhurried help. Throughout the process everything was done as stated in a very professional manner. I made mistakes on completing the documents but a quick series of phone calls to the company were dealt with by Finn and Theo in a friendly and helpful speedy manner. This is a comprehensive undertaking and both the price and service we have received have been second to none. I have no hesitation in recommending this company to everyone.

Excellent Service

From first contact right through to completing all documents the service was excellent. Will writing and setting up a Trust Fund had seemed a daunting prospect, but my experience with all at The Planning Bee quickly put any doubts to rest. Advice was clearly given and at no time was there any pressure, which I found reassuring, and queries were dealt with promptly. Thank you.

Excellent service

I received excellent service from Chris Mills. He was friendly and very knowledgeable. I had my Will changed, which was much easier to understand than my previous one, and new L.P.As sorted.
Chris also went over and above his remit by helping me with an ongoing financial issue with my house. I would highly recommend the company's efficient service and Chris Mills in particular.

Couldn’t fault them!

Everything concerning my Property Trust was made so easy to deal with, I never even had to leave my home! Ed explained everything clearly and also checked my self prepared will to ensure everything was in order. He arranged a suitable time to get everything signed when my daughter would also be available. I was kept informed as various stages were completed so I knew when to expect my copy! May appear to be expensive but considering the stress it will save loved ones, later financial loss, my peace of mind, totally worth it!
Thank you The Planning Bee.

Estate Review with professional advice

We held our Estate Review with Chris Stratford from the Planning Bee in March 26. Chris provided us with invaluable market insights which meant our family could plan for the future with confidence. In summary, we covered wills, lasting power of attorneys and estate trusts. It was informative, friendly and professional.
