I would recommend Girlings Herne Bay in particular Charlotte who has been most helpful and professional in her processing of my late father's and in 2020 my late mother's estate. She has made a difficult process easier to bear.
Mrs Maslin
I have dealt with Messrs Girlings with regard to both making a will and conveyancing for 20 years or so. I have always been treated with the utmost courtesy and effIciency by all the staff I have encountered. You are in effect, valued close friends!
