Gail was very patient ... and made some very useful suggestions

Having taken the decision that we needed to update our wills we were recommended to get in touch with Gail Hall at Warners. Gail was very patient as we explored issues important to us and our family and made some very useful suggestions in finalising the paperwork and also our lasting powers of attorney. we now have an annual review process with Gail to consider any changes in circumstances etc.

She is a very good communicator

Gail Hall is a well-regarded practitioner, who handles trust and estate administration, Lasting Powers of Attorney, wills and tax and succession planning. “Obviously she’s knowledgeable for a start, but she’s also a very good communicator,” reports an interviewee; “she tries to put things across in as simple a fashion as possible. If we’re in a meeting where technical issues come up, she is quite adept at explaining things in a way that everyone can understand.”
