  • I had prepared a version of my Will myself which it turned out would not have been legally binding and would have gifted my estate to my estranged family which was the last thing I wanted. My lawyer at Hart Reade, Faye Harlow Smith, expertly guided me through how to structure my Will to cover my wishes ensuring that those who I wish to benefit do so. I have particular sensitivities and Faye was kind and respectful all the way through. I really felt at the end of the process a high degree of satisfaction and peace of mind that my Will is now in place. Thank you to Faye, Carla and the Hart Reade team
