Great communication
Great communication at our face to face meeting, Ed was very knowledgeable and understanding outlining a clear path for updating my Will, which I look forward to reviewing in a few days. Other aspects of estate planning were discussed which I will be investigating in the future.
Excellent service and very professional
Excellent service and very professional
Easy to understand.
The first thing I thought was great was that they came to the house, with me being disabled this got got a big thumbs up. The gentleman that came was such a lovely person he explained everything in a way I understood. They gave me time to process everything. I was very impressed with them and will definitely tell my friends and family about their company.
Top Service
I've never done anything like this before, the service and help I received was very comprehensive. I had a number of services, so the time frame was several months, which was understandable.

Spenser and office staff very friendly and helpful.
Will writing service
We decided to rewrite our wills as it was a long time ago since we made them out and the children are all grown up with families of there own , so we rang The Planning Bee and they explained a lot over the phone and Sharon Stephenson paid us a visit, she explained a whole lot of things which we didn’t really know about will writing ,we only did the basic will which we were happy with , and Sharon was so helpful ,so thank you Sharon and thank you Planning Bee .

My will had been written 20 years ago
My will had been written 20 years ago, when our family was much smaller, so I needed help to draw up a new will. My initial contact, Fin, was clear and helpful in answering my questions. It was arranged that Ed would visit me at my home. He took all the details and later emailed a draft to me. After a few small alterations it was complete. I visited their office to sign the document. A job well done..
