The document was just what I needed. It was very straightforward to complete and the accompanying notes were in very plain speak English and explained things fully. This gave me confidence.The price charged made it very affordable compared with the alternative of professional legal fees.

he document was very clear and easy to complete/edit.

However it remains to be seen if it was the correct one for the purpose.......this was not apparent without buying the (relatively )expensive review service.
