Home visit to make our Wills
Chris Mills came to our house to give free advice on making our Wills. He explained the options open to us and was informative and helpful. He gave us a balanced view of what was available to us. I emailed him a couple of weeks later asking a few questions and he replied promptly. My husband and I decided to use Chris Mills to do our Wills and the process, so far, has been smooth. He is professional, friendly and knows his subject.
