She is always available to answer my questions and guide me through the process. She and her colleague Jason, dedication to my case was evident. I am so thankful for the positive resolution they achieved. It felt reassuring to know a skilled and compassionate lawyer was handling my case. I would give Charlene and Jason at PKWA Law practice the highest recommendation to support you.

My wife was a Singapore National with permanent residence status in the UK. When she passed away it was necessary to obtain probate both in the UK but also for assets she retained in Singapore. I first contacted PKWA Law when I brought her ashes home to Singapore. They were very helpful and recommended that Probate be first granted in the UK and then submitted by them for resealing in Singapore. This is what happened and it was possible to deal with the whole transaction remotely from the UK. This was because Christina from PKWA was very clear as to what was required and I was able to use a Notary Public in the UK when documents and signatures needed to be certified.Christina was able to ensure that the whole process proceeded without a hitch and in a timely manner.

They give u confidence and provide many advices, they provided enough time for you to consider whether to take which lawyers. Their prices consider reasonable and no hidden cost. Highly recommended.
