Very efficient services. The use of Zoom as a means of online platform was excellent. It was excellent to meet Sarah. We were kept up to date at all times by way of email. Client of Sarah Bogard - Mrs G and Mr C

What a journey and what a relief. You have been absolutely fantastic throughout this process and I am jolly glad I had you to guide me through. Totally on the ball, always calm and with a sense of humour despite everything covid had to throw at us. Client of Sarah Bogard - Ms W of London

We do not believe there is any real way in which an improvement could be made on a service which in our view was, outstanding. We were faced with a situation of a deceased relative in France who had been domiciled and resident there since the early 1950s, with a very limited connection to the UK at the time of her death. Given we were the principal beneficiaries it fell upon us to deal with the French administration, French Inheritance Tax etc. Furley Page demonstrated from the outset a clear understanding of the procedures in France and provided us a level of competence which we doubt many firms could do. In particular, we would like to mention how effective Furley Page were in communicating the process to us and providing explanations and feedback as the process unfolded. Client of Sarah Bogard & Florence Richards - Mr G of Dorset
