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.

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.
