"Fiona was wonderfully helpful and patient. She didn't make us feel rushed and helped us step by step through the process. Highly recommend."

Mary Grace

"Fiona has an incredible personality, and her approach is nothing short of brilliant. There was nothing but genuine care in her work and her approach to myself and my family."

Angus

"It was seamless, gentle, comprehensive and one of the most empowering processes to know that my children will be taken care of and my earthly possessions will go where I choose when that death day comes."

Meryl

"Fiona was brilliant and just wonderful in helping me finalise my father's estate.  I highly recommend her."

Gail

"I've attempted organising our wills 3 times over the last 7 years. Fiona made it so easy with flexibility over appointments. She kept it jargon free, informal, it was so much more comfortable and painless than what we anticipated." 

Vanessa

"Fiona was amazing, so easy to talk to about what I was needing.  She gave exceptional service and I now have a will that is easy to understand, read, and is very sound."

Cate

"Fiona is professional, thorough, and knowledgeable about all aspects relating to estate management. She goes the extra mile to ensure every detail is covered.  I feel confident knowing that my affairs are in order and could not recommend Fiona higher."

Tracey

"Fiona brings her own unique style and passion to estate planning, a topic that is often avoided. I'm so happy I chose to work with her after reading great reviews. Fiona is charming and funny, and an expert in her field."
