  My experiance with Laurelo was very good. My brother died very suddenly. I had to deal with all his finances and selling of his property,  So i needed probate. Micheal Roughan was very efficient and explained everything to me because i did not have a clue what i was doing. Would recommend him highly

  When my father died, myself and my mother had the task of sorting the paperwork etc which included applying for probate. We were recommended Paul Radcliffe from Laurelo and it was sorted quickly and efficiently. They were professional and transparent in everything they did.
Thank you .

  These guys are pretty good and would highly recommend. Initially thought about doing the probate application myself and, although it looks straightforward at first, it definitely isn't. Laurels took all that worry away and application was turned round in 2 months.

  So happy with the way Emma and Michael handled our probate. They were a fountain of knowledge for everything to do with this tricky point in my life, being totally ‘green’ to the process. The perfect company to help you get the job done  😁👌👌

  Very impressed. My mum needed to know if she needed probate so came here to ask, emailing the details and received a quick response to say probate wasn't needed, and saving mum a lot of unnecessary expense. Very pleased with the prompt and honest service and will keep in mind in the future.

  There are no words to express how grateful I am for the help and support I have received from Paul Radcliffe and the Laurelo team following the sudden death of my brother last year, not knowing where to turn I first contacted a local solicitor who wanted upwards of £30,000 and 3 years or more to sort out probate, luckily after searching for a probate specialist I found Paul, he came to my home on more than one occasion, was respectful and understanding of my situation and took on my case, this took all the worry away from me and I was able to sleep at night and concentrate on the funeral arrangements for my brother. Paul went above and beyond to make things right for a difficult case due to lack of a will. Fast forward to April 2024 and I now have probate for my brother’s estate and paid a fraction of what I was quoted at the solicitor. I am now able to fulfil my brother’s deathbed wishes and for that I am eternally grateful. Thankyou Paul.

  My family were extremely happy with the service that Laurelo provided us after my mother's death. We had previously approached a different firm and solicitor to deal with the probate, but they were too slow to progress it and were charging us by the hour. So, we turned to Laurelo as they offer a fixed price, with no hidden charges. I'm glad to say that Michael and his team acted very professionally and got the job done very swiftly. Whilst probate is not something that I would wish to have to deal with again too soon, if/when the time comes I would certainly reach out to Laurelo again! Thank you team Laurelo!

  Highly recommend this company. From the first meeting almost 2 years ago to final completion today I can not fault them. I have dealt with Michael and he has been helpful, prompt in replying, easy to get hold of and just generally made a difficult process alot easier. They are worthy of all 5 stars. Thank you 😊

  Having had no experience of dealing with an estate and having lost both my in-laws in quite short succession I really couldn't have asked for any more support. I have dealt with both Michael Roughan and Paul Baker who have both been excellent at what really was a difficult time. Their response time is quick and no query or question was ever frowned upon. Absolutely recommend. Thank you once again
