We asked Helen - What do you love doing in your free time?
Mainly spending it with my family. I don’t tend to have much free time as I seem to collect animals! When I have finished tending to their needs a lovely long walk with the family, followed by a yummy meal and good film is a pretty perfect day for me.
Testimonials
Helen of Sharmans dealt with the power of attorney administration with great efficiency and clarity. We had no hesitation in turning to her as she had previously dealt with property purchase and wills.
Powers of Attorney
We were so pleased to have received a warm welcome from Helen Williams and also her assistant Belinda. We had been putting off making our wills for some time as we envisaged a rather daunting process, but Helen put us completely at ease and gave us the professional guidance and advice we needed whilst maintaining a friendly rapport throughout. Communication was excellent at all stages of the process and we are reassured that we can approach Sharmans at any time for further help of information if required.

Helen clearly understood what I required and made recommendations I had not considered, thereby improving the overall result. A pleasure to deal with.

We were very satisfied with Helen's service. She explained everything carefully and in a way we could understand. She put my mother as ease and enabled her to make an informed decision. Communication with both my sister and I was excellent (we live abroad). Thank you.
