Testimonials

Mr B, Liverpool.

I was impressed by your patience, empathy and sensitivity…and felt that we had found someone who could help us through … a painful process. The (contact) was conducted in a way that totally negated any stress and was always carried out with the minimum of fuss. Things like this are vital when dealing with people who have little or not contact with the law. Your skills in the investigative process are to be commended given the bare amount of information… My mother feels she could not have found any better representation or been treated more sensitively and sends her heartfelt thanks… Cash compensation can never be a salve for the pain of bereavement but we cannot express enough how much your skill in achieving the result meant to (the family).

Mr W, Newcastle.

I would like to express my sincere thanks and appreciation for the work undertaken… Thank you for your patient and efficient service and ultimate outcome

Mrs H, Pontefract.

I am highly delighted with the service I got, considering you had very little to work with regarding my father’s claim… I was kept informed … so I knew everything was still progressing which was very helpful.

Mr H, Southport, Lancashire.

I am writing to express my thanks to the way your company handled my mother’s clinical negligence claim….. We were kept informed of progress at every step of the way, the advice and information received, written and verbal, was explained to us in a way that enabled us to make informed decisions…….. We were impressed by the first interview when our chances of success or failure were discussed, no waffle just plain talk and facts………… We also wish to thank your staff for the friendly and efficient way they dealt with many queries – efficient and friendly staff are a cornerstone of any company and yours deserve praise. We felt that we were represented by a company of the highest integrity and honesty, that the interest of the client always came first, we would have no hesitation in recommending J M Skinner & Co.

Will & Probates

 Wills

If you care about what happens to your property after you die, you should make a Will. Without one, the State directs who inherits.

It is particularly important to make a Will if you are not married to your partner. The law does not automatically recognise partners as having the same rights as spouses. Therefore, even if you have lived together for many years, your Partner may be left with nothing if you have not made a will.

If you have children or dependants who are unable to care for themselves, without a Will, there may be uncertainty about who will look after or provide for them after your death.

A properly drafted Will may assist you in achieving greater tax efficiency for your estate by either mitigating or even avoiding altogether liability for Inheritance Tax.

We offer advice on:-

• Drafting your will so as to achieve your wishes about the distribution of

   your estate after death

• The appointment of executors (we can also act as professional

   executors or trustees)

• Appointments of guardians where you have young children

• Tax planning and Inheritance Tax Advice

• Distribution of your estate

• Deeds of Gift
