Client of Aaron Spencer & Julie Scott – Mrs JP - August 2025
The advice I have received from Aaron Spencer and Julie Scott over the years was given to me in clear layman’s language. After the death of my husband, they guided me through the minefield of wills and trusts with compassion and kindness, always explaining my options clearly. Time has passed and they are still taking care of my affairs and my late husband’s trust. I am grateful to them both.
Clients of Aaron Spencer – Mr & Mrs P
All processes were fully explained to us and we feel that a thorough job has been done.
Client of Aaron Spencer – Mr & Mrs CM
Advice given face-to-face was helpful and informative. The subsequent completion of the LPAs, ensuring the various parties sign in the correct sequence, can be time consuming; the expertise at Furley Page was superb. They made submission of the complex forms a relatively easy matter. The LPA forms are not well laid out or easily navigated, and we would certainly recommend support and assistance in completing these when seeking to register said important documents.
Client Aaron Spencer – Mrs G
Welcoming, kind, relaxed throughout and efficient. Telephone queries were met with cheerful helpfulness. The team gave me much needed support and reassurance throughout.

The Legal 500 2023 – Aaron Spencer & Private client team
Aaron Spencer provided me and my family with a wealth of high level expertise, whilst other members of his Private client team were able to cater to the range of tax issues which arose. His personal approach was greatly appreciated.
Client of Aaron Spencer – Mr & Mrs R, Maidstone
We had a good idea of what we 'did not' want, but no clear idea of how to achieve what we did. Aaron, FP, was most helpful in discussing options and designing a solution that fitted well. He listened very well to our somewhat vague and rather contradictory thoughts, and in one go managed to meet these in a sound legal form. This has given us peace of mind that our Wills are 'done' and just what we want. Thank you for a very professional service.
Client of Aaron Spencer – Mr LM
... I honestly can’t think how much better you can improve on such a great service. All I can say is keep doing the great work you already are doing and remember, it’s not about being better than someone else, it’s about being better than you were the day before!
