We were very pleased to hear that Rebecca Moloney and Catherine Wadland from our Family Team received a lovely surprise this morning, a bouquet of flowers from a grateful client.

A thoughtful thank you after a successful outcome at Court last week.

This kind of feedback means a great deal and reflects the care, dedication and expertise they bring to their work every day.

Huge well done to you both - so well deserved!

At first glance, making a DIY will or using an online service might seem like a cheap option - but in reality, they often cause costly complications and a legal nightmare for your loved ones.

Here’s why they can go wrong:

•Even small errors in wording, signing, or witnessing can make a DIY will or a will created online legally unenforceable.
•Templates often use overly simplistic or unclear terms that create confusion or disputes later.
Online forms cannot reflect your unique circumstances, wishes, or potential risks.
•Blended families, stepchildren, previous relationships, and shared assets require careful drafting that generic templates simply don’t cover.

Speaking with an Accredited Lifetime Lawyer ensures your will is tailored to your life, legally sound, and structured to protect your loved ones from conflict, uncertainty, and unnecessary costs in the future.

To find out more, speak with one of our members of the Association of Lifetime Lawyers, Nick Latimir, Rebecca Bawler, Gemma Smith, Emma Cladi, Beth Woodhead and Georgina Pollard on 01752 292 292 or email [email protected]

We were delighted to partner with Promoting Children in Plymouth (PCiP) to support Kier’s Moving through May initiative through the delivery of a community wellbeing event in Keyham,
Held at North Down Playing Fields, the “Healthy Body, Healthy Minds” event brought together 470 pupils from five local schools for a day focused on fitness, confidence and literacy.

Alongside a programme of high-energy activities led by a qualified trainer, we were proud to contribute a record-breaking donation of 500+ preloved books for PCiP, helping improve access to reading for local children and supporting their long-term development.

Wolfie also joined in on the day 🐺- getting stuck into the activities, showing the children the exercise moves and even managing a few press-ups along the way, bringing plenty of energy and enthusiasm throughout.

A big thank you to PCiP for bringing partners together to deliver such an impactful event, to Kier for leading Moving Through May, and to everyone who volunteered or donated to make the day possible!

This we’re pleased to share this wonderful feedback for Nick, Partner in our Wills, Trusts & Probate team.

The client highlighted Nick’s compassionate, professional and knowledgeable approach during a particularly difficult time, taking the time to listen carefully, explain options clearly and guide them through the process.

They also praised his consistent availability for updates and advice, along with his attention to detail in managing all aspects of the estate administration, including important elements they wouldn’t have otherwise been aware of.

Despite the complexity of the situation, the client found reassurance in Nick’s expertise, with probate successfully granted and the estate fully administered under his guidance.

They finished by expressing their gratitude, sharing that Nick and the team made a worrying situation far more bearable, with thanks from the whole family.

Excellent work, Nick!

We’re proud to share a fantastic recent initiative as part of our partnership with our Charity of the Year, PCiP.

We had the pleasure of organising a special visit from local Plymouth author Holly Ryan to Whitleigh Community Primary School. Holly spent the afternoon bringing stories to life, reading her wonderful book “Never Mess with a Pirate Princess” to multiple classes. The excitement and engagement from the children was incredible to see!📚

And the surprises didn’t stop there… 🐺

After the reading session, the children were treated to a visit from none other than Wolfie, who helped to hand out 80 books, one for each child to take home and enjoy.

We’re proud to support PCiP in raising awareness of child poverty and the challenges it creates. Access to books and a love of reading play a vital role in shaping children’s futures, and initiatives like this help ensure every child has the opportunity to learn and thrive.

A big thank you to Holly Ryan, Whitleigh Community Primary School, and of course Wolfie, for making the day so special!

This we’re pleased to share this fantastic feedback for Jack Waterfield and Jayda Brailey in our Conveyancing team.

The client highlighted the team’s clear, prompt and professional support throughout their sale, with Jack providing thorough, easy‑to‑understand advice and Jayda offering consistent, hands‑on assistance at every stage.

They also praised the convenience of our Wolferstans App and appreciated the team’s guidance in navigating more complex elements of the process.

Despite initial concerns about working remotely, the client found the experience to be smooth and virtually stress‑free, thanks to the reassurance and care shown throughout.

They finished by saying they “couldn’t have hoped for a better experience,” a brilliant testament to the service provided.

Excellent work, Jack and Jayda! 👏

This , we’re proud to stand alongside Headway Plymouth and shine a light on the realities of life after brain injury.

Brain injuries don’t just affect one moment in time - they change lives, impacting individuals and their families for years to come. Recovery goes far beyond medical treatment, and that’s where charities like Headway make such a meaningful difference.

One of our team recently took on the London Marathon, raising £2,850 in support of Headway Plymouth. Inspired by both personal experience and seeing the impact of brain injury through their work, this challenge was about more than crossing a finish line, it was about giving back to a cause that helps people rebuild their independence, confidence, and sense of self.

From rehabilitation and practical support to creating a sense of community, Headway provides a lifeline for so many navigating life after brain injury. Their support extends not only to those directly affected, but also to the families who walk that journey alongside them.

This week is a reminder that recovery is ongoing and together through awareness and support, we can help ensure no one faces it alone.
