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

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.
