Ed Granger Reviews

September 10, 2026
We used Ed Granger to sort out our late fathers probate and to tie up some very confusing loose ends with our late mothers probate. Ed was absolutely fantastic at every stage. He always explained things in a way we could understand and he always got back to us regarding any queries we had within a few hours. He sent us regular updates so we always knew what was going on. He managed to finalise a really complicated situation with our mothers probate and a Trust which we had been unable to resolve through another legal company. Ed was professional but also very understanding and compassionate which made all the difference through a long and very emotional process. We would definitely use Ed again and would highly recommend him. Rothera Bray are very lucky to have him Thank you Ed!

We recently wished to effect a Declaration of Trust and changes to our tax positions with HMRC. It turned out to be relatively straightforward. However, in large part this was probably due to Ed Granger who dealt with the matter for us. He was highly attentive, full and clear in his explanations and checked our inputs thoroughly at every stage. Highly diligent, very pleasant and quick to respond. Thank you Ed.

Ed was efficient and professional for a matter that needed to be sorted reasonably urgently. He was incredibly accommodating for meetings and explained the procedure and meanings of things very well so that I was able to make clear and informed decisions about what was suitable for me and my partner. Thank you.

I have been dealing with Ed Granger to handle a Will and Trust Account. He has been extremely helpful and always took the time to explain the process and help me establish the Trust as per the wishes of the Will. Thank you Ed.

I've had business with Rothera Bray over the years for conveyancing, probate, wills and LPA; thank you to Sarah Soo and others in the teams. All have been excellent experiences. The most recent business, with Ed Granger of their trust department, was up to their usual 5 star standard. Of note is the care taken to highlight any potential issues and the processes to be followed subsequently, not forgetting the timely responses to queries.
