What people say

  • “We cannot thank Rebecca Roberts enough for her expertise, kindness, and unwavering support during one of the most difficult times in our family’s life. Rebecca not only brought exceptional knowledge of SEND law and educational rights, but also genuine compassion and empathy that made us feel seen, heard, and protected.

    She was always patient, thorough, and incredibly responsive. What felt overwhelming suddenly became manageable, simply because Rebecca was by our side. She empowered us with information, stood firm when we were unheard, and offered calm reassurance at every step. A truly outstanding solicitor and a wonderful person. We recommend her with all our hearts.”

    Denise
  • “Best law firm I’ve come across! Andrea is a no nonsense and let’s just get it done kind of person. She and her team are just exceptional. They are hardworking, care about their clients and go out of their way to help. I’ve used them 3 times now and each sale has been as quick as they can make it. I cannot recommend them highly enough. I wouldn’t use anyone else.”

    Sarah Smith
  • “The whole process of making a will was much easier than I imagined. Adam explained everything and answered my many questions. He was very patient when I changed my mind (a few times!) and his advice was incredibly helpful. I will return to Amicus when it’s time to arrange my LPA. I’m in good hands with them.”

    Julia O’Dowd
  • “Top draw solicitors, respectful, experienced and overall professional experience.
    From the instance connecting with Linda I knew I was in the right hands. Massive thank you to Isabela l, who did and amazing job and to Ebony who was always on the case and friendly. Can’t recommend enough.”

    Matt Browning
  • “Absolutely excellent service from David & Lynne at the Minehead office from start to finish during the sale of my late mothers flat. The communication from David and Lynne made the sale so much less stressful. I would recommend Amicus 100% and will be using them again in the future. Simply the best. Thank you.”

    Gary Ellmer
  • “I had an excellent experience working with Erin Darling-Finan at Amicus Law solicitors . From the very beginning, she was professional, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable. She took the time to explain everything clearly and made a complicated legal process much easier to understand.

    What stood out most was her attention to detail and genuine care for my case. I always felt like I was in safe hands, and her advice was both practical and strategic. Communication was prompt throughout, and I was kept fully informed every step of the way.

    Thanks to their expertise and dedication, we achieved a successful outcome. I would not hesitate to recommend Erin Darling-Finan to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled legal professional.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Whether you are buying a home, planning your estate, or arranging a Lasting Power of Attorney, it is natural to have questions. Our Seaton team has put together answers to some of the things we are most commonly asked — from what happens if you lose mental capacity without an LPA in place, to how probate works and whether you need a solicitor to write your will.

If your question is not covered below, or you would simply prefer to speak with someone directly, our Seaton office is always happy to help. You can call us, drop us an email, or fill in our contact form and a member of the team will get back to you as soon as possible.

What happens if I lose mental capacity without a Lasting Power of Attorney?

Without an LPA in place, even your closest family members have no automatic legal authority to manage your finances or make decisions about your care. An application to the Court of Protection would be needed, which can be a lengthy and expensive process. Putting an LPA in place now avoids this entirely and gives you and your family genuine peace of mind.

Do I need a solicitor to write a will?

While it is possible to write a will yourself, using a solicitor ensures your wishes are expressed clearly and legally, with no risk of the document being challenged or failing to achieve what you intended. This is particularly important where your estate involves property, trusts or complex family circumstances.

How long does probate take?

Probate can take anywhere from a few months to over a year depending on the complexity of the estate. Our Seaton team will guide you through every step and keep things moving as efficiently as possible, keeping you informed throughout.

What is the difference between a Property and Financial Affairs LPA and a Health and Welfare LPA?

A Property and Financial Affairs LPA authorises your chosen attorney to manage your bank accounts, bills and property on your behalf. A Health and Welfare LPA authorises them to make decisions about your care and medical treatment. Most people benefit from having both in place and our team will advise you on which is right for your situation.

Can you help with conveyancing for coastal and rural properties in East Devon?

Yes. Our Seaton team is experienced in acting on a wide range of property transactions along the Devon and Dorset coast, including coastal properties, rural homes and those with particular title or access considerations. We provide the same clear and personal service whatever the complexity of the transaction.
