I would like to thank you so much for the helpful and sensitive manner in which you have handled this for me
Client
Thank you for all your assistance with this matter, you did help make it very straightforward for us.
Client
As usual, TSP delivered a first class service with regards to obtaining probate for my mother Doris Cook. Sarah was very professional and understanding in what is always a difficult time for the family.
Client
The service I have received has exceeded all my expectations. Sarah has not only been professional at all times, she has gone out of way to be helpful answering, even anticipating, my questions. She’s been a pleasure to deal with at times guiding me through a process that I would otherwise have struggled with.
Client
We are so happy with the informative and efficient help we have received from Sarah. We were apprehensive about how long and difficult the probate/trust issues may take however Sarah's methodical guidance and patience especially during the pandemic has made a very difficult time for our family so much easier. Thank you
Client
The family are very grateful for the efficient and thorough manner that you have exercised on Dad’s behalf.
Client
I just want to thank you for all of your guidance and support with the estate. You have made a really difficult time and situation easier with your professional sensitivity - for this l am truly grateful.
Client
Within the confines of COVID-19 and the subsequent delays via HMRC etc Sarah was able to deal with the estate with care, thoroughness, attention to detail and excellent communication. We were working together to complete the estate and it felt helpful and positive.
Client
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, Sarah, for the way you have conducted and handled the estate of my late mother. From the moment you kindly agreed to see us (when we turned up at your offices without any appointment in March 2020) to this final Estate Accounts stage, I have been constantly impressed by, and am extremely grateful for, your highly professional, efficient and sympathetic manner throughout. Thank you.
