Sally took the time to explain everything thoroughly and was very professional. Highly recommend her to anyone. Thanks Sally!Posted on Michael HendersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sally-Ann Haywood, Cairns Mobile Wills & Probate is an amazing solicitor. I used her services for an extended period of time and her professionalism, attention to detail, dedication to writing wills and sorting out inheritance to an extreme specialist level of legal knowledge. Her professional integrity, quality and expertise was of the highest standard with confidence to deliver realistic outcomes with reasonable legal fees, (value for money). Including forming a good lawyer / client relationship with her high level of communication.Posted on Christine GilesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sally-Ann helped us navigate our way through the legal and personal requirements of our wills with knowledge, sensitivity and discretion - and even a little bit of humour, which we appreciated, to lighten up the subject! We loved that the cost was determined at the outset so that we knew what we would be up for and there were no 'hidden extra' surprises at the end. She was also very understanding when it came to making changes, and flexible when it came to booking in a convenient appointment time to revise our completed wills and have them signed and witnessed. Making a will is a vital and deeply personal thing to do and Sally-Ann instilled us with the confidence we needed to tackle the task. We would highly recommend her services! Thank you, Sally-Ann xPosted on jenny FairleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We can highly recommend Sally-Ann, her website was easy to use. She visited our home and talked us through our Wills, Enduring Power of Attorney & Advance health directive. She was caring, friendly, gave great advice and helped us with any questions we may have had. Great value for your money. She put our minds to rest. Thank you Sally-Ann so much.

Thank you Sally-Anne for all your work in getting my Will specific to my needs. I appreciate your thoroughness and commitment to helping me feel confident in the future security of my children.Posted on katie traceyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sally-Ann was a delight to work with. My financial adviser recommended her, and she made what seemed like a daunting process very simple and easy to understand. Her online platform was easy to use and made collating all the information simple. She helped nut out the finer details, is very knowledgeable, and was flexible when needing to meet to sign the paper work - she came to my workplace to wet sign the paperwork. Now that's service! Her pricing is very fair and reasonable. I'll be recommending Sally-Ann to any of my friends and family considering their estate planning. Thanks again!Posted on EtTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

By the end you will have a detailed will for a grate price with everything how you want it. Way better then going to any old solicitor and getting a 1 or 2 pages. 10/10 would recommend 👌Posted on Shannon SiebelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
