We would highly recommend ARK to anyone requiring their services. Karen worked extremely hard to arrange our wills in a very short timeframe. She was professional, pleasant and explained everything clearly. We had put off making our wills for so long expecting it to be a long drawn out process but this proved not to be the case.
ARK were recommended to us by a friend and we have sung their praises to our friends and family who will also be contacting them.
Mr and Mrs S, Bedfordshire, May 23
I used A.R.K. for wills for both myself and my wife. The whole process end to end was super simple, transparent and John and Karen couldn’t have been more helpful! We did the whole thing online to save lots of travel (Bedfordshire resident) and I cannot praise them enough!
Thank you 🙂
Mr and Mrs P, Bedfordshire, Spring 2023
Thank you once again, your service has been second to none and we will be recommending you highly to anyone who comes our way needing to make a Will.
from Mr and Mrs S, Bedford, January 2023
I was recommended to you by a family member and certainly would use your Company again and pass on recommendations to others. In difficult circumstances for me Karen made the whole procedure easy and was compassionate about my needs. A really good service
Mrs M, Shefford, Autumn 2022
I just want to give you a bit of feedback from my mum.
With everything that she has been through over the past few months, her confidence had taken a big knock. She was very pleased with your approach towards her, she stated that she felt you listened to her and took her wishes into consideration. Your visit to her has done her the world of good and I also thank you for that too Karen.
Mrs R, Bedfordshire, Summer 2022
Thank you very much for assisting us in obtaining our Power’s of Attorney.
You explained how it would work and the timetable for completion which was very accurate. We would have no hesitation in recommending your services.
Best wishes
Mr & Mrs S, Wheathampstead, Spring 2022
I am so glad that I used Ark to update my will. I had delayed and delayed as I really wanted to find a company with a personal approach.
Karen was kind enough to go through every aspect of the process with me so that I could be reassured that my will reflects my final wishes.
If you want sympathetic yet professional help with what can be an onerous task, I would certainly recommend Ark.
Miss B, Stevenage, November 2021
Mum wanted to thank you for your kind and empathetic service, she has felt very confident in the process.
Mrs F, Stevenage, October 2021
I would like to praise Karen for sorting out our wills efficiently and with empathy. A home visit and immediate follow ups along the way has put us totally at ease.
As I was very impressed with the service I have recommended Karen to family and friends who have also found impeccable service whilst providing wills and Power of Attorney.
Thank you.
PS: Seems all about Karen but thank you John for personal delivery service.
Mr and Mrs S, Stevenage, September 2021
Having found A R K Lasting Power and Wills through “looking for recommendations” on our local Facebook page, Karen from ARK kept appearing. We had a zoom meeting with Karen who was very knowledgeable and professional throughout the process of making our Wills. Producing draft copies in layman’s terms, we had no hesitation in giving the go ahead to produce the final documents to our complete satisfaction.
We would have no hesitation in recommending ARK Lasting Powers and Wills to anyone.
Mr and Mrs P, Baldock, September 2021
I was very pleased with the service you provided with our Lasting Powers of Attorney. Karen was very helpful and took time to explain things to me.
Mr and Mrs H, Baldock, August 2021
I would like to thank you for your excellent services .In these trying times you have helped me to navigate through all the problems my circumstances have produced.
I will not hesitate to recommend you to friends and family you certainly went the extra mile for me.
Mr W, Stevenage, July 2021
Karen and John helped us set up our Wills and Lasting Power of Attorney with a personal touch of coming to our house for us to sign forms even though they were unable to come in due to lock down restrictions! Everything was explained in simple terms and all went smoothly from start to finish.
An absolutely superb service and we highly recommend them.
Mr & Mrs Shaw from Stevenage, June 2021
Having reached the ages of 54 neither my husband or I had a will in place due to my husband being the co owner of a business and being told long ago that we would need an intricate will to take this into account.
We finally took the plunge this year and to our delight discovered it was in fact a simple process which Karen took us through patiently and with ease. We now have peace of mind that both our sons and grandchildren will not have to struggle with our estate or the business should anything happen to either or both of us. This has been a huge weight off of our shoulders and I cannot recommend ARK highly enough.
Mr & Mrs B from Welwyn, June 2021
My wife and I used A.R.K Lasting Powers & Wills Ltd to sort out our wills and related property issues. We found the service to be very helpful and friendly. Karen took the trouble to explain things in a way that made sense! The company is local and relatively small and so give a nice, personal as well as expert service.
We would highly recommend!
Mr & Mrs B from Bedford, May 2021
Thanks so much for everything, you have been so helpful and have made the whole process so easy.
Miss S, Letchworth, May 2021
The service provided was both very professional and friendly. Karen guided us through the whole process and gave us excellent advice. We have recommended A.R.K Lasting Powers & Wills to our friends and family.
Mr and Mrs W, Knebworth, April 2021
A.R.K assisted me with the updating of my Will providing clear and efficient services. Their personal approach and the ability to get in contact with them easily makes them a great local business to deal with.
Mr T, Letchworth, January 2021
After several false starts before we contacted you, it will be such a relief finally to have set up the LPAs. Thank you for so kindly bringing over and witnessing the documents – it was a pleasure to meet you.
Mr and Mrs C-W, Knebworth, November 2020
Like many people, we had put off arranging for our wills to be written as it meant discussing a time when we wouldn’t be here anymore, not a nice thought at all. I contacted A.R.K to start the ball rolling.
Karen was lovely and made the whole process nice and easy to understand.
Yes, we had to discuss that time hopefully several years away but it really didn’t take too long at all.
Karen sent us the initial proofs to read through and check. Once that was done Karen sent us our wills which were nicely presented.
We signed the wills with our two witnesses and then sent a photo of the signed page back to Karen to check. She replied promptly to confirm that everything was correct and therefore a legal document. Now our wills are stored away, job done!
We would definitely recommend A.R.K
Mr & Mrs S, Stevenage, October 2020
Every year we wrote our list of things we need to do and always writing a will was one of them, 14 years later we finally completed the task.
It was so easy to do, we was given great advice and information, and all done within 2 weeks, we really can’t understand why we did not do this sooner.
Thank you to Karen and Jo for your prompt reply and all the help and information we needed.
Mr & Mrs S, Stevenage, September 2020
ARK was recommended to us by a friend. Karen was very professional and helpful. She guided us through the (what was to us an extremely complicated) whole process to the final will. It was carried out via video, telephone and email due to the lock down and restricted movements, this did not diminish the process or the service Karen provided. We were kept informed at all points during the writing, we were given plenty of time to ponder and never felt rushed or pressured. Would highly recommend.
Mr and Mrs W, Welwyn Garden City, September 2020
My wife and I would like to send our personal thanks to Karen from A.R.K. Lasting Powers & Wills.
After much procrastination, my wife and I finally got up the courage to ask Karen to set up lasting powers of attorney. Karen was old fashioned customer service personified; she could not do enough for us.
Karen set up a meeting at our convenience, explained what everything meant and what were the steps to get the orders set up. Karen made it simple, she put everything in accessible terms, so it was easy for us to understand. No question we asked felt silly or too much trouble.
The cherry on the top….. it’s a legal document so there is a lot of documentation and a lot of pages to sign, Karen even made this simple, we had an easy to follow cheat sheet and all the places we had to sign were marked with the correct names… brilliant and uncomplicated.
Both my wife and I would thoroughly recommend Karen from A.R.K Lasting Powers and Wills, we would trust her to do a brilliant professional job in all her dealings.
Thank you for the good old-fashioned customer service.
Mr and Mrs H, Welwyn Garden City, August 2020
We contacted this company to get our Wills written just before this awful pandemic broke, so have been dealing with Karen both before and during these uncertain times. Karen has been extremely helpful in navigating us through this very personal process, explaining anything we didn’t understand in plain and simple terms. The service provided has been first class and we won’t hesitate in using the company again with other matters.
Mr and Mrs F, Knebworth, June 2020
We recently called A R K to draw up new Wills for us as ours we last updated in 1989.
Karen visited us at home, at a time convenient to us and instantly made us feel comfortable by explaining the process in straightforward clear terms.
Karen did all the work whilst we just answered her questions, she took the information away and a few days later we received draft copies to check and approve.
Great service from a reliable company. Thank you A R K”.
Mr and Mrs G, Stevenage, February 2020
We contacted Karen to enquire about Mirror wills. Right from the beginning we received an amazing and professional service, everything was clear and not too much problem! Great pleasure to meet Karen and work with her to cover all aspects of our life on paper! Could not recommend enough! Thank you!
Mr & Mrs D, Stevenage, January 2020
Thank you so much for helping with my Will…great service and very quick response, I would recommend A.R.K to friends and family.
Ms W, Luton, November 2019
A helpful friendly service, highly recommended, 10 out of 10.
Miss D, Ware, October 2019
We would both like to say that the Will writing service was excellent. We were very impressed with Karen and her attention to detail. We have recommended her to a number of our friends and we know of others who have equally been impressed
Mr & Mrs H, Stevenage, July 2019
We have now dealt with Karen at ARK for both my mother’s Will and Power of Attorney. On each occasion Karen came to the house, which was convenient and also less formal. This assisted in helping us to discuss with Karen mum’s wishes and preferences in a more relaxed environment. Karen is also very good at putting people at ease to help discuss these sensitive issues. She both advised and guided where necessary to make the necessary decisions and then ensured the paperwork was with us for approval and signature within the time she outlined.
We would have no hesitation in recommending her services to others.
Alison R, Welwyn Garden City, May 2019
Thank you so much for making my Will an easy, professional and friendly process.
Will definitely recommend your services to others.
Ms D, Hitchin, May 2019
Karen was great she explained everything about the will process really simply. She wanted to make sure I was happy about the whole process too. Fantastic and friendly service. 5 Stars.
Mrs S, Hitchin, April 2019
I used Ark lasting powers and wills to help my elderly friends get organised and not worry about their funeral arrangements, wills and lasting power of attorney’s.
They were so pleased how Julie made them feel completely at ease and discussed everything with kindness, care and attention to detail.
No one really looks forward to doing funeral arrangements but my friends feel so happy and relieved they have now done it and have put the paperwork away and and forget about it, but know everything is in place which has given them total peace of mind.
We have no hesitation at all in recommending Julie, my friends could not speak any more highly of her and I also thought she was absolutely brilliant.
Miss J, March 2019
Karen has a very friendly yet professional nature, she is very helpful and took all the stress out of writing our wills. With great attention to detail she gave very good advice. Great to be able to do from the comfort of our own home. Highly recommend.
Mr & Mrs E, Stevenage, February 2019
We needed a will. In fact, with two properties and a blended family, it was long overdue.
Things were complicated in more than one area. Not knowing what to do with all the tricky bits was putting us off going ahead and sorting it out.
Karen at ARK Lasting Powers and Wills came and listened to our quandary and with her sensitive suggestions and knowledge, we were able to come up with something that we were happy to take forward for discussion.
Draft wills were produced, along with a clear guide and explanation to all the technical jargon and we were given plenty of time to discuss and review. Changes were implemented without fuss and final will was presented in a timely manner.
Karen was professional, knowledgeable and a friendly cheerful face to consult in what is a sombre subject. But she made it simple, easy and matter of fact.
If you need a will, I would highly recommend consulting Karen of ARK Lasting Powers and Wills.
Mr & Mrs H, Stevenage, October 2018
Fab! Thanks Karen. You and Jo have been excellent. We are so pleased with everything. Thank you!
Mrs G, St Albans, June 2018
Just wanted to say thanks for the funeral plan my mum died last week and its made everything so much easier.
Mrs G, Hemel Hempstead, February 2018
My wife and I had wills drawn up but they were written in such a way we couldn’t work out if our wishes were completely covered. We had already signed up with a National Will writing company only to discover that we had been misinformed about what we could include. During a chance conversation with my son he recommended Karen, being a friend of her husband, and right from the start she understood our requirements and was able to put together two draft wills that required no alteration before producing original wills. Everything is now as we want it and our thanks to Karen for the professional manner in which she conducted herself.
Mr M, Stevenage, September 2017
Dear Karen,
We wanted to write to thank you for taking time to speak to our employees at Home-Start Hertfordshire. The clear and professional advice given was valuable to the team. More importantly the information can be used to speak to families about ensuring that they have made adequate provision for their children.
You were able to show the importance of family preparation in a way that was not dramatic but clear and user friendly.
I know that a number of staff members have since contacted you for further assistance and they speak very highly of your service.
I would have no hesitation in recommending you to other organisations, individuals and especially children’s charities in the UK. Thank You.
Lara Norris
CEO Home-Start Hertfordshire, April 2017
I contacted Karen from A.R.K. to make a Will after seeing her advert in the local magazine. I wasn’t sure what to expect but she put me at ease from the very first time we spoke. She was very friendly and easy to talk to given the sensitive nature of her visit. She explained everything in simple terms so it was all easy to understand. I also went on to do a Funeral Plan and 2 Lasting Powers of Attorney with her all at a very reasonable cost. There was no pressured sales pitch just sympathetic and informed advice. I would highly recommend Karen’s services and my daughter is going to make an appointment with her. Thank you Karen for making the whole experience stress free.
Mrs H, Stevenage, March 2017
Having recently made our will, I can highly recommend ARK Lasting Powers and Will services, offered in the comfort of your own home. We both felt so completely at ease discussing our future wishes with Karen and even set in place our Lasting power of attorney at the same time as both services are very reasonably priced.
It is never going to be easy making decisions for your future, however there may be things you have to face in the future in which you may not be able to deal with at that time. If you are like us and have been putting it off for years, do it asap to ensure your future wishes are met.
Thank you Karen for a professional service and for answering so many of questions we had.
So relieved our will is now in place.
Mrs B, Welwyn Garden City, January 2017
Karen Greenall is a Stevenage Women In Business colleague and over the past few year I have had the pleasure of getting to know her better. As she is always approachable and pleasant to talk to, I asked if she would kindly advise on the wills for my husband and I with a view to possibly drafting the documents on our behalf if we felt comfortable to proceed. I wasn’t sure what to expect and assumed it would all be very complicated, given that we both have children from first marriages. Karen made the whole process clear and straight forward, with her professional but personable manner, her clear explanations and asking the right questions to elicit the relevant information from my husband and I. Within one meeting in the comfort of our own home, we had enough information for a draft to be drawn up. I would recommend Karen’s approach and professionalism to anyone who is considering drafting or revising their will(s); I will be working with her soon with regards Lasting Power of Attorney.
Mrs K, Hitchin, October 2016
Karen did my will for me. I can’t recommend her enough. Was very helpful and explained everything in a way a younger person would understand. Thank you very much!
Miss F, Stevenage, October 2016
