Free Consultation on Wills, Trusts and Legacies
Thursday 25th February 2010

Steve Howells, a solicitor who advises Rethink, will be available for free private consultations on wills, trusts and legacies.

Tony Brook, one of our Rethink group members, has kindly offered to organize appointments for the above.  Please contact him on 8286 0463 or at arbrook@brookhq.co.uk if you would like to take this opportunity to speak to Steve Howells.
