Legacy Direct deliver exceptional service.

Legacy Direct delivered exceptional service and helped me navigate my options for a very complex estate. They are much more informed in the domain than the solicitors I have worked with previously and yet able to provide much better value for money. I have spoken with them early mornings, late evenings, and during normal working hours and received the same service all the time. It was an extremely positive experience, and I am confident in their services and advice. I highly recommend them.

Ian and the team were professional

Ian and the team were professional, helpful and efficient. They explained things clearly and effectively. Costs were open and upfront. When I had a query 3 years after making a will with them it was handled immediately.

Thank you for the help.

Incompetent and Untrustworthy

I paid Legacy Direct £679 on the 01.03.21 for Wills with Trust and Severance and Powers of Attorney . I paid a further £495. on the 23.08.21 .for the removal of a charge on my property. On the 01.08.23 over two years after instructing Legacy Direct I made a complaint to the Institute of Professional Will Writers because of the way Legacy Direct was fobbing me off . The following seven months uncovered multiple inconsistencies made by Legacy Direct. I found that Legacy Direct was both Incompetant and untrustworthy.Legacy Direct was instructed to refund me £634. Avoid Legacy Direct at all costs.

Professional, knowledgeable and Trustworthy

I don’t know what I would have done without the help of Ian. In a time where I was desperate, confused, stressed and grieving he provided me with the advice and support I needed. He took all the stress away and dealt with everything. If I ever had a question I could contact Ian anytime and would get an instant reply. Ian has help with my whole family’s estate. I would highly recommend Ian to anyone. Thank you Ian for your upmost professionalism, help and guidance.

Highly Recommend for Wills / Probate , Legacy , Estate and Trust Planning

I’ve been using the services of Legacy Direct and in Particular Ian Burkin since September 2020. Ian’s expert Legal knowledge has been second to none in helping me to form decisions and at a time of family bereavement and upheaval. It has been a greatly reassuring and comforting to be able to contact Ian impromptu who has also been willing to travel a fair distance on numerous occasions to discuss and advise on options pertaining to my estate and Legacy.
I’ve found Ian and staff at Legacy Direct to be highly professional, affable, highly conversant on legal aspects relating to my Will, planning relating to my Estate and Trust. I’m made to feel as if I am a valued customer. I’m hoping for a long term , if not life long management of my affairs by Legacy Direct. I highly recommend the services of Legacy Direct. If you want to hear more about my experiences as a customer with this company, please contact me .

I have worked with Legacy Direct’s Ian…

I have worked with Legacy Direct’s Ian Brill for 3-4 years. I was very impressed with Ian’s knowledge and the advice I received in relation to Powers of Attorney. I never at any time from felt under pressure to make any decisions. I feel I have had a very personal service and each time I rang to query something, I had an immediate response. I made a Will and nominated Powers of Attorney. When my personal situations changed over the last year, it was no problem to update my Will and change a P. o A. Ian has made me fell that nothing is too much trouble . I have referred Legacy Direct to a family member and we are both really happy with the help and guidance given to us .

I would recommend Ian and his team to anyone. They have dealt with some family business in a professional and excellent manner. Kept me updated, always returned my calls and been very patient when I have rung them with questions of anything I don't understand. First class service all round.

Far be it from me to revoke previous…

Far be it from me to revoke previous comments, but this has to be done in this case.
Legacy direct dealt with both powers of attorney for me and what a disaster that followed ,they were returned twice for no apparent reason.
I obviously blamed this company as no reasonable explanation was given.
It appears that the Office of the public guardian was too lazy to pick up the phone and take my money as they should have done, it was easier for them to send it back to me . In essence, because of their incompetence I waited 19months for both POA to be completed.
So Legacy Direct was most certainly NOT at fault .

A Legacy worth having

Legacy Direct were recommended to us by a friend. Ian came to us for a free of charge consultation one evening and explained everything we needed to know in detail, with no pressure.

Having decided to use them, we've been very pleased with the service and advice. I would certainly recommend (and have done) them.

Horrendous experience

Horrendous experience. Took money and didn’t finish the work, I have been calling and no one calls back, sent a signed for letter to the premises, and letter was returned saying not known at this address. Avoid at all costs.

Have received a call today from Ian Burkin asking why I have wrote a bad review. (First time he’s called me back in months) because he has taken money off a pensioner and has not complete any of the work and is refusing to refund the money. He then hung up on me.

Reply from Legacy Direct

Your family member engaged us in business 3 years ago to prepare some documents which we duly did. When it’s fallen to you to register these documents with the OPG we offered to help you free of charge and asked you to post them to us, we never received them, you state that the Royal Mail for unknown reasons returned the documents to you stating that we are no longer at this address, which we very much are. We have fully delivered the service that we were instructed to so feel this review is untrue and unjustified.

Excellent and knowledgeable Will writing service

Legacy Direct were excellent and didn’t bombard me with legal jargon. I kept putting off writing a Will and only spoke to them to find out about how to create a Will. The consultant I spoke to was very knowledgeable and listened carefully so he was able to understand what I really wanted. He created a Will and Trust Funds that I am very pleased with. It is such a relief to know that my Will has been written and everything will be taken care of after my death.
