About Us
Based in Letchworth Garden City, we are a local Will writing & estate planning business. Whilst most of our clients live in the nearby towns of Letchworth, Hitchin, Welwyn Garden City, Arlesey, Stotfold, Baldock, Royston, Luton or Stevenage, we also serve clients across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, North London and beyond.
The business is run by John Franklin who, prior to taking up Will writing full time, worked for 20 years in the public sector as a Chartered Public Finance Accountant.
John is a full member of the ‘Society of Will Writers’ and an affiliate member of STEP (Society of Trust & Estate Practitioners).
We had a great experience with Greendrift Wills & Estates.John was very patient and explained everything very clearly and in Layman’s terms regarding will making.We would absolutely recommend John for his very professional, yet friendly and personable service.
We recently used the services of John Franklin and Greendrift Wills and Estates to update and expand our wills. We can highly recommend John. He was very helpful and a consummate professional. He explained each process, and nothing was too much trouble for him. He was approachable and informative, and everything was completed - without any problems - in a timely manner. We can’t recommend him highly enough. John Cain 2024.
John came to our house which made life easier and understood our requirements for our wills. He produced them to our satisfaction within a few days of our meeting.
John was our contact to organise our elderly father's will. He initially came to the house to get all the details . Unfortunately dad was admitted to hospital a couple of weeks later . He was very anxious about completing his will . John was really understanding and went over above our expectations by visiting dad in hospital for completion. For this we are all very grateful and am sure went some way in aiding his full recoveryWould highly recommend this company .
It was an absolute pleasure to work with John. Very professional, attentive and friendly. I am not English, there were a lot of things I didn't know and John explained everything perfectly and more so. I am quite a busy person and John always made it work, it was easy. Such a positive experience, I will be recommending Greendrift Wills & Estates to all my friends!
I was introduced to Greendrift Wills by a friend, and am very pleased I was. The service has been first-class; speedy and clear advice, a highly developed eye for detail, and always accessible. As I am not in the Letchworth area we had an hour’s consultation by video link, which saved time and travel.I recommend them without hesitation.
Absolutely excellent service from John at Greendrift Wills & Estates.John was extremely professional, personable and knowledgeable. He was very conscientious, thorough and patient. I can highly recommend.
Great service. John Franklin gave an excellent impression that he was really on top of being of his profession. We were very pleased with the Wills he produced for us very quickly and efficiently and at a reasonable price. Nothing was too much trouble for him. We strongly recommend him.
John provided a fantastic service.He was very friendly and helpful. He went through everything in detail and was very patient with my friends hearing difficulties. He spent a lot of time getting everything exactly right.Thank you again for such a very professional service.
This was my first experience of will writing and I wasn't sure what to expect however John demystified the process, and made each step clear and easy to understand. He's friendly, knowledgeable and communication was great throughout. I'd happily recommend Greendrift to anyone looking to write or update their will.
Having had wills prepared in the past by solicitors we thought we knew what to expect. However, John was thorough in his questions and, with one exception produced, an accurate first draft for both us quickly.He was flexible, adaptable, easy to talk to and work with. After a home visit lasting just over an hour John produced two wills, in Trust, but could easily produce the simpler version if required.Highly recommended to those who need help or prefer to avoid solicitors.
