Richard was recommended to us by a friend and did an excellent job, keeping us well informed and provided all the advice we needed. We would not hesitate in using his services again.

April 1, 2025Richard was extremely helpful and was able to explain things easily in layman's terms. Deadlines were adhered to and Richard's friendly, approachable nature made the whole process very smooth. Will definitely use him again.

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!

This is the 2nd time I have used Richard's services, but this time for probate. The service I received was impeccable and swift. His advice was excellent and can not rate Richard highly enough. If there was a 6th star I would have added it.

August 7, 2023Richard 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.
