What our clients say...
My family's home of 65 years was sold recently after our parents died; Angela Evans at Butler & co has been a constant source of advice and help throughout the 18 month journey which began after our Mother died in March 2020 until the Estate Accounts were finalised in October 2021.
I have known Angela for over 20 years and it was of such comfort to know that after all these years Angela was able to combine our friendship with her professional service as we threaded our way through the complications that unfolded. Trust is essential when it comes to such an ordeal as ours, and throughout this time, I have felt that Angela was totally trustworthy and had our best interests at heart.
If opportunities for referrals arise, I will be happy to send business to Butler & co.
The complexities of the accounts relating to the sale of my parents’ estate and the subsequent division and distribution of the related inheritance to myself and my three siblings, plus the relevant calculations and explanations of all IHT, CGT, income tax and other more general issues, was done so professionally, diligently and sympathetically by Angela and the team at Butler & Co that I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Having searched at length for support with both Probate and Tax advice under one roof I eventually came across Butler & Co. They were literally like an oasis in what otherwise seemed like a desert. Their depth of knowledge and understanding of ‘the complete solution’ was always so reassuring on many levels.
Finally, and for me this is so important, Butler & Co are really good at communication and all emails were quickly, often by return.
Therefore, I would have to say from my personal experience that I would have no hesitation at all in recommending Butler & Co for anyone looking for this level of support.
Butlers were truly a second reassuring hand on the tiller when I was navigating some very unknown territory.
Traditionally, probate services have been the reserve of solicitors and the legal departments of major banks.
Butler & Co are however one of the few accountancy practices licensed by the Institute of Chartered Accounts in England and Wales, to offer these services.
We offer a professional and competitively priced service, providing a real alternative to traditional probate services, and giving you the reassurance that matters are being handled by people that you know and trust.
When someone close to you dies, dealing with their financial affairs is not the first thing on your mind.
Many people turn to a solicitor to assist with executing a Will, especially if the solicitor is named in the Will as an executor. However, dealing with a solicitor can land you will a huge legal bill.
According to the WHICH 2015 Report ‘The Cost of Probate’ the most common complaints include: higher than expected fees, delays and poor service.
The good news is you now have a choice. Licenced Accountants can deal with non-contentious probate, which means we can deal with all administrations that are not under dispute.
