There are many provisions you can make now with a little time and effort to ensure your family is financially stable.

Our lawyers offer expertise in all areas of wills and probate, including:

For Anthony Weber:

“My husband and I used Anthony Weber at Coles Miller Broadstone to make our wills. He offered a very friendly, approachable service over two comprehensive meetings. We received a commentary alongside our draft wills which made the complex legal language easy to understand. We were able to make some changes at the second meeting and have the wills signed and witnessed then and there. I would highly recommend Mr Weber to all my friends and family."

For Jenny Oxley:

"All the arrangements were very professionally explained so no hesitation in finalising the new documents. We are grateful to Jenny Oxley and all the office team for making the process so helpful and straightforward. R and D H."

For Marie Harder:

"We have had such a positive experience with Coles Miller. My wife and I wanted to make some changes to our wills and were introduced to Coles Miller through the Stroke Association Will Scheme. From our first contact with reception through to meeting with Marie, the solicitor who drafted our wills, the staff have been really helpful. Marie explained how their service worked, answered our questions and generally made the whole process straightforward; we would highly recommend them."

For Ricky Langlois:

“Ricky Langlois was very easy to talk to. He was patient, clear on his explanation and advice, good interpersonal skills. Ricky did not give me any indication that he was in a hurry and took his time in giving me options and explaining issues to me. He made it clear what would be happening next. If I was not retired from my job, I would give him a job! I would also like to mention that the reception staff were very courteous.”

For Kerry Hay:

“I have been introduced to an amazing young solicitor, Kerry Hay, who has skilfully and patiently helped me step-by-step to arrange my final will and power of attorney so that I am totally confident that when my time comes, my son will have absolutely no problems handling my affairs through Coles Miller, Poole.”

For Shadi Meehan:

"I would like to thank you for providing an excellent service in dealing with the updating of our wills and associated trust. Coles Miller has dealt with our various house purchases and, latterly, dealing with our wills and trust. The most recent occasion was when Shadi Meehan took us through the updating of those will and trust. She was understanding of our needs and requirements and the whole matter was completed efficiently and effectively within a couple of weeks so thanks must go to Shadi. We both like the idea that you store our wills and we have advised our family of this. We shall, of course, use Coles Miller for any future business".

For Emma Stagg:

"I would like to thank for assisting me with making my will. I found you and all your colleagues very pleasant and helpful. The job was very professional and would recommend you to anyone.".

For Adele Jones:

"From my initial telephone call to make a will writing appointment. (Thank you Adele), we received nothing but friendly, helpful and courteous service. We met with Julie Morgan who was so kind and informative,, explaining every step and ensuring our needs were met. A very pleasant experience and I have no hesitation in recommending Julie and Coles Miller ."

For Antonia Chan:

"A first class and professional service provided by Antonia and the team. All very straightforward and easy to deal with. Well done!"
