As executors, my family used Blanchard`s Bailey to complete all transactions on my late mother`s estate. I found that Meggie Crane and her team at Blanchards Bailey were working tirelessly, kind and professionally to accomplish a difficult task under difficult circumstances, not only had we just lost our mother, but we had endured Covid and confined shortly after, but she was also a family member and co-executor of Covid at the time. In addition to our emotional trauma, Meggie also had to deal with Equity Release and their legal team of lawyers, with whom it was very difficult to work or communicate, they show very little empathy for grieving families. I must say that Meggie had everything under control, all letters, emails and phone calls were always answered quickly, because surprisingly, she gathered all the parties that brought my mother`s estate to its final conclusion in time. The level of service I/we received was always up to the highest standards, I would not hesitate to recommend Blanchards Bailey to anyone in need of professional legal services around estate wills and estates.
