A big thank you to John Franklin for putting both myself and my partners Will in place . Mine was straight forward , but my partners was a bit more complex . With advice and johns knowledge, we both felt confident we had made the right decision. John is very professional in every way . He even visited our home on a Sunday to complete our Wills. I would definitely highly recommend him . First class service!.

John handled mine and my wife's wills and was courteous and professional throughout the process. I highly recommend his service. He was very knowledgeable about the whole process and was very patient for the numerous drafts we went through before settling on a final version.

We recently had our Wills prepared by John, and we couldn’t be more impressed with the service. He is professional, friendly, and incredibly patient, taking the time to understand our situation and explain everything clearly. His attention to detail and strong knowledge in his field gave us complete confidence throughout the process. John made the whole process smooth and straightforward from start to finish. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable will writer.

We used Greendrift Wills & Estates to write out our first wills after having our first child. John was great at explaining all parts we should consider and how they play out in practice. It was an especially nice touch having him visit our home to talk things through in detail. I’d definitely recommend using John, everything was taken care of swiftly and with care.

From the very start John was so willing and knowledgeable and professional about everything I needed to know. John went to long lengths to provide a speedy and accurate service. John came to see me at home and went to great lengths to get the job done quickly and efficiently. I would highly recommend John for a kind honest and professional service.

Really good experience. John was knowledgeable and patient. We were able to discuss and revise our wills until we were both satisfied. 5/5 for us. We will be using John when we next revise our wills
