Buckles Law Avis 49

My late mother was Spanish and I found out by chance that as a UK citizen I could obtain Spanish citizenship and Dual Nationality Passport,
I needed the help of a reputable firm with proven experiance and expertise in this area of Spanish and international Law.
After careful consideration of several Law companies In this field I decided to contact Buckles directly as they were based in London and have other offices including Spain .
I was introduced to Lola Pacheco who leads in her field of Spanish and international Law, She explained the whole process to me and advised what documents were needed , there were many documents some from overseas that I did not have and she provided guidance on exactly how to obtain them.
Her communication whether by phone or email was always prompt clear and precise enabling me to understand all the different stages of the process.
The whole experience has been 100% positive and
altho it had taken just under a year because of all the diferent stages ,there was never any let up to the personal service and attention I received during that time.
Thanks to Buckles and especialy Lola I now have full Spanish Citizenship and Dual nationality Passport.

All in all my experience with Buckles has been excellent
and I would recommend without any hesitation.

Thank you

P A Bartholomew Casamichana!

Very responsive and great attention to detail. Took care of all my worries and concerns.

I would highly recommend the Probate Service, led by Sarah Westwood at Buckles Law. The initial information pack provided outlines the overall process clearly, provides options for degree of solicitor involvement and likely timescale. We opted to gather the necessary information for the IHT400 and supporting documents ourselves and provided SW with completed data sheets for review, correction where required, and rapid completion of the IHT400. We received a speedy response to any queries we had. Overall the process worked very well, limited costs and allowed us to submit the IHT400 and supporting files 4.5 months after the date of death. The application was processed quickly by HMRC, inheritance tax paid and the Grant of Probate issued just under six months after the date of death.

You listened to what we need to achieve with our updated Wills, and translated our wishes into readable understandable English.

I found Rebecca totally professional and extremely knowledgeable on every aspect of the relevant probate matter. She answered all my questions succinctly and in plain, understandable language and I would have no hesitation on recommending her to anyone.

Rebecca Cockeram was effective and timely in the work completed for me. She did not waste my time or money. Rebecca is highly recommended by me in matters of contentious probate.

Very efficient with communication and also getting documentation out. Easy to discuss needs with Molly. She explained everything very clearly and was happy to make recommendations and answer any questions we had.

MY SPANISH PASSPORT ARRIVED YESTERDAY!
I am so happy Lola, thank you so much for everything that you have done. You have always responded quickly to all my queries and quite literally set out and provided me with all the endless links, documents and forms that have been required for this process. This has also meant so much to my Father, which was a lovely unexpected surprise.
Here's to now getting there with our son.

Simran was our solicitor throughout the whole process, both my husband and I found her to be extremely informative, very professional she provided us with excellent service. We felt she took all the stress away from us with everything we needed. In addition we found her to be very friendly and warm which we have never had with any other solicitor firms that we have dealt with in the past. Thanks Simran your a star!

Pleasant to deal with it was unfortunate the the person we originally dealt with left mid way through Feb/march/april 2026

The hole esperance was first class manners second to none patients the same very helpful me and my wife felt like we could not be in safer hands
Thank you Gary Lilley

Serena and team were very helpful in our process to create wills. Good outcome in end

Very efficient response time from first contact by e mail and telephone. Quickly asses what is needed. Solicitor very well supported by knowledgeable Para legal team. Sound advice and great follow up support documents. Importantly more accurate than have experienced in the past with other legal firms.

We have a couple of things going through with Buckles although connected, with different people Amy dealing with an ongoing sale of a property and change to land registry on another, excellent, professional and very approachable making it as easy as possible to deal with. Dealing with Jenifer on another matter of Probate connected with the sale of property frustrated only by the time it takes for the civil service to do their bit!

Was recommended to Buckles by Nat West.
From start to finish the service was excellent. Jesselyn was so helpful in explaining the process. When it came to the video call Molly was so good at making us at ease and giving us the various options to achieve what we wanted from our wills.
We cannot thank Buckles enough for making what can be a very difficult task for lay people so easy.

We were given Lawful information on how to proceed selling our home and buying a new one with the help of our Son.
Unfortunately things have changed and we are no longer proceeding.

All my dealings with Lola Pacheco and her team regarding mine and my sons Spanish citizenship applications were efficient, timely and professional. Questions were answered quickly and Lola was always on hand to advise and reassure throughout the process. Cannot recommend highly enough.

I’m delighted with Buckles Law’s excellent service.Jaimie Catton, Paralegal, made a stressful time so much easier with her professional, friendly and kind attention and help.

Chris Grimoldi has been unfailingly helpful in dealing with probate and related issues. He explains well and has kept me fully informed throughout the complicated processes relating to my late wife's estate ever since late March 2024 till our most recent meeting in February 2026.
