5 Mediation Find a positive way forward, together. Our unique approach puts you in control and safeguards relationships for the future. We actively encourage our clients to consider Mediation, Alternative Dispute Resolution and Collaborative Law as a quick and cost effective way to reach a settlement, together. It puts you in control, avoiding a decision being imposed by a court, and will help maintain positive relationships, be they business or personal. The aim of our team is to achieve the best outcome for your family or business, and we place fairness, transparency and the aim of finding a practical settlement that preserves relationships at the heart of our service to you. I am delighted with the outcome of my case and I would not hesitate to use you again. Professional, reliable, knowledgeable and excellent communications.

8 Wills and Probate Do you have peace of mind? Safeguard your future and your wishes with a little careful planning. Making a Will is one of the most important steps you should take, regardless of your age or financial circumstances. Without it, your property and personal effects may not go to the people you wish as intestacy laws will dictate who receives what. In addition, you can also use your Will as a means of reducing potential inheritance tax and of giving your family greater benefit at their time of need. Estate Research have worked together with Lee Hibell for over two years and have always been impressed by the service, diligence and dedication to all probate matters. We would have no hesitation in recommending him to future clients.
