Following a serious illness, I realised that there was a real need to get my affairs in order and write a will. Carrie was extremely professional and helpful and took me through the entire process, highlighting all the possibilities and ensuring that my wishes are legally documented. In addition, Carrie helped me to prepare power of attorneys which my family can use in the event of incapacitation. With both documents written, I now have peace of mind that my loved ones will be taken care of should the worst happen. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending Carrie

Having a child prompted my wife and I to finally get round to sorting out our Wills, luckily Carrie was on hand to expertly help us through the process. Carrie offered a professional and efficient service whilst being understanding and informative in an area which can be daunting for some people. Carrie made the process easy and stress free and although you can’t put a price on piece of mind the service offered was great value for money. I would highly recommend Carrie to anyone requiring a similar service.

As a first time buyer and not knowing anyone personally in the profession to sort advice, I was very fortunate to have been given the details of Carrie who has done a sterling job in guiding my partner and I through the processes required. She gave sound knowledge and made everything absolutely clear in “plain English” and on the matter of Wills, was very tactful, but precise with her expert knowledge.
Carrie put our mind at ease and at no point did we ever feel she was there because it was her job and for the money – infact she was there at the end of the phone any time and any questions were answered and Carrie was always happy to help! Always has a smile on her face while always being professional, helpful and friendly.
I would and will recommend Carrie to anyone who was in my shoes and looking for excellent professional advice and skills like Carrie has and will remain thankful to her.
Truly recommended!!

Carrie did exactly what her website promoted and helped us ‘every step of the way’ through what was a challenging and difficult subject to have to deal with. Carrie is so professional, informative and friendly, she guided us through every stage; building complete confidence in her ability. We are delighted that we found Carrie amongst thousands of other solicitors and feel like we have made a new friend.
We would not hesitate to recommend Carrie to anybody reading this. ‘A first class friendly service’.
APT Legal were great with helping us and have been second to none in their clear precise advice. Having a business and two children made us realise it was really important that both my husband and I provided clarity and protection for our children through our wills & letters of wishes produced by the APT team. Again I would personally like to thank Carrie for her patience and professionalism throughout this process, making what can be a daunting process approachable and simple.
We would just like to place on record our very grateful thanks for the very efficient way you dealt with our Wills making us feel at ease and relaxed during the process. Your knowledge of the subject is impressive and everything dealt with promptly.
Fabulous service from Carrie and the team in sorting out our wills and our property ownership structure. All performed with minimal fuss and maximum efficiency.

Carrie has attended my Bank Manager team meetings and delivered superb presentations on Wills, Trusts and POA. Her presentation style is engaging and interactive and I and my team were very impressed by her knowledge, professionalism and passion for customer/client care. On a purely personal basis (not connected to RBS/W&G) my Husband and I have used Carries firm APT Legal for our wills. Carrie went out of her way to make the process as easy and hassle free as possible and we found her service to be of the highest standards.

Having been recommended APT legal, I had a long conversation with Carrie. Immediately I felt confident that she was listening and understanding my thoughts. I felt confident to accept her advice and the Will was written and approved. Signing took place through Zoom. Carrie also recommended that I consider Local Power of Attorneys for Health and Welfare, and Property and Financial Matters. Again these were prepared with attention to detail. I am very pleased that these important issues have been carefully dealt with and can highly recommend APT Legal.
