Can someone recommend me a lawyer in London for wills?

It's about time I sorted my will out. Thank you!

I used a chap called Peter Joseph (used him for this and for house sale). He's been very good. Near Golders Green - any good to you?

lisianthus · 02/06/2010 10:20

Golders Green would be great. Thanks BlameitontheBogey - this is one of those jobs I've been "getting to" for some time. I hate the idea of getting hit by a bus and then causing extra problems by dying intestate.

Just to make sure - is he the one at Gregory Abrams Davidson? (Just looked him up on solicitor search).

Yes that's right. Can put his number up here if you like? He's a small outfit but always been very efficient and good.

Fab - don't worry, I have it on solicitor search. Just didn't want to ring the wrong person! Thank you very much!

ARGH! I've rung the dratted man 6-7 times over the past week and not once has he been there to take the call (he's always "just slipped out for something and we don't know when he'll be back today, if at all") OR returned even ONE of my calls.

I'm going to have to pack this in and try someone else.

BlameItOnTheBogey - thanks very much for the recommendation, I'm sorry it hasn't worked out.

Can anyone else suggest someone? I am on a bit of a deadline to organise this will in the next couple of weeks and I've just lost a week.

We used Unsworth Rose, who are based in Regents Park. They have a specific lady who does it - let me look her up - Clare Joseph.

Grant Saw in Greenwich - (sorry if wrong area). We used them for conveyancing and I was v impressed, so I'd hope their wills & probate people are similarly helpful. Just gives you another phone number to try anyway.

we used a really good guy from Edgeware a few years back: David Lesser. He works alone and was a recommendation - he comes to your house and was v reasonably priced too. 0208 958 3256 [email protected]

donnie · 12/06/2010 12:27

maybe I wasn't supposed to put his personal details here!

lisianthus · 12/06/2010 12:54

Thanks donnie and tootootired. It's really helpful to have a few options to try.

If you havn't already sorted this out i would strongly recommend a chap caleed John Scaplehorn. He will come to your house at any time and his prices are very reasonable. He is based in North london. His e-mail is [email protected]. Hope this helps.

Chetin Malyali - McBride Wilson

Approachable, careful and conscientious (I haven't used him myself, but I have worked with him on residents association stuff).

Just seen this thread - Not sure if you have sorted out your will yet... We have been clients of Peter Joseph and his firm and have used both Peter, his son Oliver and their colleague Charles Rumke, all of whom were very reliable and always get the job done quickly. We have always had good experiences with them. They are based in Temple Fortune, near Golders Green. If you are still in need of a solicitor, I would suggest trying them again on 020 8209 0166.

We got a professional will writer to do our wills and she was fab, really efficient and friendly and very reasonable price.
