April 1, 2025Richard and the Financial Zone are the go to for anything related to finance. Pensions, mortgages, home care planning, estate planning and will planning. With over 35 years in the business there is no one better than these people. I could only recommend Richard Smith or The Finance Zone as the best you can get. A great guy with great knowledge, totally reliable and professional.

January 16, 2024Richard 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.

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.

January 16, 2024Can'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!
