Bio
Helen Tebay - The Sales Lady Ltd
We got our wills done through Nicola and at first I thought why do we need one as we don’t have children so should be simple and straightforward but it turned out that how we wanted things to be at the end of our time isn’t how it would play out so we got protection in place with a Will so we can be sure of what each other wants and where our assets will go. Next step is to get a LPOA in place to protect us if we are not able to make decisions. My friends say it’s a bit depressing however I think it’s helped reduce my anxiety as we have a plan in place. Nicola is kind, patient and ensures avenues are explored so that you can make the best decisions possible. Doing it yourself or DIY wills would not have allowed us to get the correct provisions in place! Thanks Nicola and to your team

Nicola makes the process of organising your will, so straightforward! She was able to answer all our questions and talked through all our options. The process was smooth and we would have no hesitation in recommending Nicola to anyone needing a will (in fact we have already done so - my sister and her mother-in-law have both used Nicola's fabulous services).
