What our clients say

My first connection with Gibson Kerr was in 2009 when my dad died. My mum was then 88 and thankfully we had Scott to steer us through all of the intricacies involved with Power of Attorneys etc. As I live in Australia his assistance was invaluable and nothing was too much trouble. (My sister lived in France just to confuse things even further). In 2018 my sister died and again we contacted Gibson Kerr. Lindsay then took over and assisted my mum and reassured her everything was still in order. In 2019 my mum finally arranged to enter Residential Care and between us Scott and I sold my mum’s house and he took care of the legalities. I would have been lost without him. Unfortunately my mum died in September 2020. The pandemic meant I was stuck in Australia – it was almost impossible to get out of the country never mind back in – so I again took advantage of Lindsay who handled everything for me. Probate was finally granted and the estate wound up in August 2021. Without Scott and Lindsay I would have been in an invidious situation on a few occasions. Luckily we had all the necessary documentation to hand but I was 12,000 miles away and in some instances had fun getting my signature witnessed etc, and hoping that the mail (during Covid 2020) would deliver. It could be stressful but without Scott and Lindsay over the years to help me out I would have never, ever coped.
