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.

September 30, 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!

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.
