Georgia Mcaneny
I turned to Wilson & Fish for help with my late sister’s estate after hitting a brick wall trying to navigate some of the more impenetrable parts of the process. Donna Smith gave me invaluable help and guidance which I really appreciated. Donna dealt with all Land Register-related matters concerning my sister’s property. She did this in a very professional manner, responded quickly to all my queries, and was courteous and friendly throughout. Donna provided an excellent service and I have no hesitation giving a 5 star recommendation.

I am so grateful to Donna Smith for the fantastic service she gave us. Donna dealt with Confirmation for my mum and dad's Estate and from start to finish was absolutely brilliant. It was all new to me, and she made the whole process so easy, replying promptly to queries, clearly explaining the process, so that I knew what was happening and when. I really appreciated this and can't thank her enough for her expertise, her all round excellent service, and would highly recommend her services.
Hazel Payne
We faced a tremendous challenge on many levels after our parents died during the pandemic. It was a complicated situation, where we felt we could do some of the executry on our own, but certainly not all. Donna Smith was brilliant at helping us through the legal minefield. We were given a clear picture of the various routes we could take, the costs involved, and the sorts of timescales to expect. We were kept fully informed along the way, and Donna handled everything with much-appreciated sensitivity as well as professionalism. We owe her so much thanks for all her help, and can warmly recommend her services.
Andrew Crumey
I am so grateful to Donna for the professional service she gave us - morevover, her clear explanation of legal matters and her sensitivity with grieving clients really helped. I am very happy to offer my recommendation.
R R
This is a professional practice providing plain-speaking, cost-effective advice. They handled both the estate wind-up and sale of the family home. This exercise was especially difficult due to family not being in the country. Despite this, the firm handled everything smoothly and held regular phone call updates. I would recommend this firm, in particular Donna, for anyone seeking legal advice on probate matters.
Kate Jolly
Having never dealt with Solicitors, I was dubious about getting in touch. I'm so glad that I did though, professional throughout. Gave me a step by step guide on what would happen and how long it would take. I was also provided with an estimate of how much their services would cost, the figure was broken down to show me exactly where the money was going and was very, very reasonable. Always happy to answer any question that I had. I would 100% recommend this company. A special thank you to Donna for all her hard work - a credit to her profession.
Gavin Travers
I would highly recommend Wilson & Fish. I selected them as I was Executor to my late father's estate. They were great, in particular Donna Wilson, who was my point of contact. Donna took me through every step and she was always there when I was unsure and gave me a gentle reminder when I forgot anything, which was often. Great service, professional and really helpful and supportive. I would definitely use them again. Thank you for holding my hand in difficult circumstances!

Gavin Laird
I instructed Wilson and Fish to administer my aunt’s estate in Scotland. I received a thoroughly professional service from them from start to finish. At the outset they clearly set out their fee structure which was very fair and proportionate. They assisted me every step of the way in discharging my obligations as an executor. Donna in particular was very attentive to detail and gave me very helpful advice when I needed it. I cannot recommend this firm highly enough. I have no complaints whatsoever. They are excellent at what they do.

From start to finish Wilson and Fish dealt with my father in law's estate professionally, Mark gave me good advice at the start of the process and Donna dealt with everything quickly and thoroughly throughout right up to completion, when the estate was wound up and the process brought to a swift conclusion, confirmation obtained and the assets distributed as agreed. Thank you for your help

Following the untimely death of a family member and living 400 miles away our family considers itself very fortunate to have instructed this firm to act on our behalf. Helpful, sympathetic, professional and beyond all trustworthy, Donna was approachable and returned emails and phone calls promptly and dealt with unexpected problems timely and efficiently. A superb service which we highly recommend.
