Springle & Co Solicitors Estate Planning Wills & Probate in North Shields, Tyne and Wear: Review
We have written on a wide range of multi-practice firms over the years. But as more and more people switch from high street companies to seeking specialists services for practically everything these days - we've followed suit and started seeking them out as well. Springle & Co. Solicitors are such a firm, specialising in Estate Planning matters such as Wills, Probate, and Powers of Attorney. Estate Planning is what we would consider a fairly new term in the UK. Another phrase/concept we seem to have imported from the US.
At one point, more than two thirds of people were dying without leaving a will. This can cause huge issues for those left behind who are already dealing with the death itself. Those who did any future planning would typically get a basic will written and maybe take out life insurance (while taking advantage of whatever inheritance-tax-avoiding setup was available at the time). As the percentage of people writing a will has increased in recent decades, the idea of really thinking about what happens after you're gone has become more acceptable.
'Estate Planning' may sound like a sort of wedding-planner for the end of your life. Certainly just like planning a wedding there are several things you need to consider and get sorted which you can try and arrange individually. The big difference though, is that a wedding planner doesn't need to know how to make a cake. An estate planner needs to know all the new laws and taxes coming out year on year. Plus with more and more people owning their own business that brings an entirely different set of issues to consider should you pass on while that business is running. On top of that, families are much further away from the stereotypical husband/wife/2.6 children arrangement of old.
Life is complicated and so is death unfortunately. Increasingly so. We don't push any one estate planning firm as being better than another for you, however we will certainly pushing the idea planning properly is important. Ensuring the advice you get is from a qualified and experienced professional is important too. There are cheaper alternatives which may work fine for some. But it may be an idea to seek out a free consulation with a fully qualified legal professional before deciding which way to go.
How do you work out which firm might be best for you? Every solicitor's website will tell you they are the best firm for you. But there are some sources you can check with. The first port of call we usually recommend to help start telling them apart is The Law Society in your area. Either national or local. This allows you some insight into whether a firm at least has some genuine experience in that area of law.
Springle & Co is registered with The Law Society of England & Wales and if you check out the page on any given firm you'll be shown their location, specialties, and the number of years each solicitor within the firm has been practicing. For example, it states Claire Springle qualified as a solicitor in 2001 so that's over two decades of possible experience.
Other common sources people use are independent review boards such as Yelp, Facebook, Trustpilot, and Google. Law firms typically receive less reviews than other services such as restaurants or garages. That's because people are less likely to jump online and write a review about their divorce, will, or criminal offence compared to praising the pizza they just got delivered. Springle's reviews were all positive at the time of writing this. Some snippets:
"would highly recommend and will definitely use again"
"very professional throughout and we are so grateful for all the hard work"
"Professional and supportive people"
A quick note on navigation with there being four words in the official branding Springle, and, Co, Solicitors which can interchange with ampersands and have 'company' mixed in too. There is an unrelated firm called Spring & Co Solicitors so just be careful how you type and click. The official website is www.springleandco.co.uk which we link to above, with www.springleandco.com not currently owned by anyone. Although that's probably not too much of a concern because typically scammers target property matters - not wills. Apparently it seems to be quite easy to convince people to hand over their whole house deposit to a fraudster. Always keep aware of what site you're on and who you're chatting with - either by email or phone.
Last note of something that stood out to us. Springle and Company have a page on their site listing itemised fees. That's something much rarer for a law firm to do than you might think.
Best of luck in your search!
General Notes: Usually if Legal Aid is possible we've mentioned it above, but you can always ask. We haven't looked in depth at their recruitment program so are unaware of any job vacancies available. For a career with Springle & Co Solicitors it's best to visit the website (www.springleandco.co.uk), check opening hours, and find the correct phone/email contact details. Simply emailing a CV to reception looks lazy. Each law firm's Law Society and/or SRA number should be on their site, usually at the bottom of each page.
