"I was represented by Gillian Cloverly in my role as executor in the business of my late father's estate/Will. She provided support and understanding at a very difficult time especially during the coronavirus pandemic. All business dealt with as per dad's wishes and as quick as expected - within the year, despite the restrictions of the pandemic. I'm reliably informed by friends that have gone through the same process with their family that this is exceptional. It was complex but Gillian just got it done!
Gillian is professional but approachable, knowledgeable, sincere and extremely caring in difficult times. I have found her professionalism to be top rate and her human touch on equal balance. I felt safe and secure with Gillian guiding and explaining the processes. My father had used Gillian for years and also highly rated her. I would not hesitate to recommend. Thank you Gillian for everything. You were a pleasure to deal with." - 5* Trustpilot review
