They were prompt and efficient in dealing with my request. Most importantly, due to the nature of the service they were providing (due to a bereavement), they were kind, respectful & compassionate in their correspondence with me. Would not hesitate to recommend.

The whole process could not have been easier. When I first contacted Thomas Mansfield it was suggested that it was all done on the phone or zoom. Most professional. In all an excellent experience.

I had the estates of two relatives to deal with, complicated by my lack of expertise and knowledge. I received excellent advice throughout the time it took to sort these matters out - and all through the Covid-lockdown period too.
