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.

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 8, 2024Richard has been an invaluable support in managing my late mother's affairs since her passing last year. His promptness in responding to inquiries and his vast expert knowledge have made a challenging time much easier for me. Whether he was getting probate granted, submitting Inheritance Tax documents or negotiating with the Revenue Office, I knew that my mother's affairs were in very safe hands. In turn, this allowed me to focus on my family and other administrative tasks. I highly recommend Richard for anyone needing reliable accounting assistance, under whichever circumstance.

Nothing is too much trouble and he has sorted out my divorce by advising my solicitor to ensure I had a brilliant deal enabling me to be financially independent and secure my future. I have used him to challenge state pension underpayment and ensuring I have a good savings rate.
