Jessie Bostock navigated us through the unexpected complexities of dealing with our parents’ estate. She was prompt, helpful and professional and I cannot thank her enough.
I have recently had work carried out and comleted by Hayley Barber and Emma Bell, in connection with my late father's estate, and I was very pleased with the quality of their work and their exemplary diligence over this long running affair. Thoroughly recommended.
I can’t recommend Tallents Solicitors highly enough. They recently helped me with probate on my mother’s estate, and the whole process was handled with remarkable efficiency and care. A special mention must go to Sarah Allen, whose professionalism, clear communication and attention to detail made a difficult time much easier to navigate. She kept me informed at every stage, and ensured everything was dealt with quickly, smoothly and compassionately. Tallents delivered an outstanding service, and I’m truly grateful for their support.
After losing my Dad and facing the daunting task of selling 2 houses and all the legal stuff with my Dad's estate i just didn't know where to start. I found Tallents Solicitors in Mansfield local to me a gave them a try. What can i say, Jessie and Sarah and the rest of the team were just amazing, they took a lot of pressure off of myself and my Wife and made it a lot more of a manageable task for me to deal with. Jessie was very friendly, kind and professional as she explained everything as things went forward with my Dad's estate. I wouldn't use anyone else now . In fact Jessie has just completed for Myself and my Wife our Will's. There fee's were also far better than i had expected. I'm so grateful for all of your help during this difficult time.
Massive thanks to Sarah (estate administration) and Rebecca (conveyancing), brilliantly assisted by Jessie, Gabrielle and Sophie. Magic.
Dear Emma, I write to express my appreciation and gratitude to you and your team for your highly professional and competent services sorting out my late mother's estate. It has been a difficult time for my sister and I and we are both relieved to have received a settlement.
Thank you Jessie and Sarah, very very much for all your help, friendliness and advice in the past months. I will always appreciate it.
We both agreed that the service we received from you could not have been bettered. Many thanks for your help.
Dear Mary, I can't express too many times how grateful I am for everything. It's been a long and complex process (though thanks to your firm, I've been spared the difficult bits). I'm grateful to how your colleagues handled the original house purchase and helped my mother back in 2013-14 and everything else to do with her estate.
It is almost four years to the day that my Mentally handicapped Brother passed away. The complex business of bringing closure to his financial affairs and legalities, was carried out, most professionally, by Mrs Elizabeth Rees, them based at your Mansfield Office. She accommodated me with the compassion and care as the process unfolded. I remain ever thankful for her kindness to me personally, at such a time of loss. I have let me known amongst my own family that I would prefer Tallents Solicitors, preferably Mrs Rees, to handle my affairs when that becomes necessary.,
I would also like to thank you for getting these documents drawn up so quickly so that we could sign them before we all left town on Friday, that made the process go so much faster! I would also like to commend Mr. Whiting for making this such a simple process for us and for being so understanding and caring in his dealings with us all, especially our mother.
Clare, Emma & Kerry, I would just like to say a huge thank you to you all for the service you have provided me over the last year or so. Clare and Emma you have been incredibly understanding, sympathetic and have dealt with everything (including myself) with the utmost compassion and made difficult times run smooth and dealt with my Dad with care and humanity thank you. Kerry, as always you have dealt with the sale of the estate and the buyer's diabolical solicitors with haste and understanding thank you. Once again thank you. Yours sincerely
