  • I would recommend Richard without reservation as he has a comprehensive knowledge of tax returns obtaining probate and instructing financial institutions He will talk you through the processes and do as much or as little as you require for a fixed fee.

    Can't speak highly enough of Richard or recommend him enough. His handling of my mother's estate was efficient, professional, and courteous throughout. Probate was granted in the estimated date and this is thanks to Richard's expertise and foresight. I would not hesitate to deal with him again, though I also hope that isn't for a long time. Thanks again!

    Richard Smith, The Finance Zone - Probate Application Service, the best thing you can do for yourself, to work through a challenging time. Richard assisted me through my families grant of probate application. I was tempted to tackle the application myself, but I am so glad I didn't. Richard was able to successful gain the grant of probate within an incredibly short time frame. We were advised a 12 week turn around on receipt of application, but I think it was granted within 2 days, due to Richards expertise in packaging up the correct information, in a format agreeable to the probate office. Throughout our dealings, Richard has been a fountain of useful knowledge for all things around the family finances, challenges with civil organisations and administrative tasks following our family bereavement. One of my favourite quotes from Warren Buffett; 'Price is what you pay, value is what you get', well, Richards' service is extremely great value for money. I will be engaging with Richard on future financial matters for sure. Thank you again Richard.

  • Richard did an exceptional job organising probate after our mother died in June. Throughout the entire process he was diligent, persistent, and consistently communicative. He made sure every detail was handled with care and professionalism, keeping us updated at every step and ensuring nothing fell through the cracks. His support made a difficult time much easier for my brother and me, and we’re truly grateful for his hard work and dedication. Highly recommended.

    Richard drew up a new will for me after I lost my partner. He dealt with the whole thing quickly and efficiently without causing me any problems or worries. Thank you

  • This is the 2nd time I have used Richard's services, but this time for probate. The service I received was impeccable and swift. His advice was excellent and can not rate Richard highly enough. If there was a 6th star I would have added it.

    Richard has been an invaluable support in managing my late mother's affairs since her passing last year. His promptness in responding to inquiries and his vast expert knowledge have made a challenging time much easier for me. Whether he was getting probate granted, submitting Inheritance Tax documents or negotiating with the Revenue Office, I knew that my mother's affairs were in very safe hands. In turn, this allowed me to focus on my family and other administrative tasks. I highly recommend Richard for anyone needing reliable accounting assistance, under whichever circumstance.
