OUR PEOPLE

The administration of an estate can be difficult at the best of times – particularly so if it’s a parent that’s died. That’s why a client turned to Nia Griffiths for guidance, expertise and understanding when his mother died. Nia kept her client and his brother, who were both executors, updated regularly and actioned their requests promptly. This included interim distributions, legacy distribution and reimbursement of expenses. Advice was also given with regards to capital gains tax implications on the sale of the property and corresponded with their accountants. Following this, the client said: “Nia was assigned to our case part way through the process of administering my late mother’s estate. Nia was extremely helpful and kept us updated on a virtually daily basis on progress. We were sincerely grateful for her thorough and highly professional approach where customer service and communication was of paramount importance. Thank you Nia.”

When two sisters needed support and advice with their father’s trusts, they turned to Nia Griffiths, a Senior Associate in our Private Client team. Nia’s skill and expertise meant the process could be easily understood, with the sisters choosing the solution that worked for them. Following this, they left a heartfelt testimonial for Nia: “It has been really reassuring to have your help and professional expertise to take us through the process of resolving the trusts our Dad had set up. You explained everything clearly and enabled us to choose the right solution. “You and everyone we engaged with at HCR have consistently been highly professional, caring and supportive. The efficiency has been superb and the speed at which you met our needs was exemplary. Thank you so much.”

When a client required a will, private client associate Nia Griffiths assessed the issues at hand and provided clear and timely explanations, before sending draft versions and meeting at short notice to execute the will. Nia’s compassion and flexibility ensured the timings suited the client whilst delivering a high-quality service in a tight timeframe. Following this, her client provided the following testimonial: “Nia Griffiths has provided me with professional yet compassionate guidance. She is most understanding and has a caring nature when discussing my concerns and requests. Nia has been available at all times to answer queries or provide additional advice to ensure my interests are upheld.”

Private client lawyer Nia Griffiths was quick to act when she was instructed to draft wills and powers of attorney for her client and her husband. Nia produced both wills and powers of attorney for health and financial matters for the couple. Her personable manner and knowledge led to this testimonial from her client: “We have had a smooth and very professional service from the company and in particular from their Associate, Nia Griffiths.  Nia was very personable, professional and easy to communicate with, explaining clearly and in a language we could understand, the various options available to us thus showing her extensive knowledge in her field of expertise.  We have no hesitation in recommending Nia and her company to any prospective client.” Nia is looking forward to working on similar cases in the future.
