James Burton, Google Review, April 2022

An excellent service was provided by a very professional and caring team in achieving probate, completing property conveyancing and distributing the estate proceeds to the beneficiaries. I have no hesitation in recommending Rix & Kay to anybody needing good quality legal services that represent good value for money.

Rix & Kay have provided and excellent service in handling my Mum’s affairs. They have handled everything with superb professionalism despite it being quite complicated and my being geographically separated from them.
They have been extremely responsive and everything was explained in clear English.
I would highly recommend them.
