I recently used the services of Philip Anthony Associates to prepare my first will, I met at Philip's office in a socially distanced meeting room, Philip clearly explained everything and answered all the questions I'd prepared in relation to my will. Further to a couple of e-mails in which I forwarded key information to be contained in the document… I visited his office again to review the document, once signed in front of a witness and paying my invoice Philip advised a bound copy would be prepared and sent to my home address. Overall a very professional service in a related environment

We first used Philip to revise our wills and to put in place relevant Trusts and Power of Attorney in 2014; recently we have updated them, including changes in legislation. On both occasions we have been impressed with Philip's efficiency, thoroughness and speed of completion. We would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone embarking on this delicate issue.
