  • Excellent Service

    Excellent service from the team at Garner & Hancock who dealt with my late Aunt’s estate for me. This took three years to complete as it was, from my point of view, a very complicated affair. From the initial ‘phone call from Jakub Kotan advising me that I was the beneficiary to this estate, to the final recent email, I found all the team to be very professional, but also approachable. Garner & Hancock took all the worry off my shoulders as I had no idea where to start if I had tried sorting this out on my own!

  • Incredibly Helpful

    Imogen supported me with a will and probate situation and was incredibly helpful and fair. I would recommend and will work with her again with any future needs.
