What My Lovely Clients Say
“I initially tried using an online DIY probate service to manage my loved one’s estate, thinking it would be quicker and cheaper. Instead, I found myself lost in a sea of complicated forms with no real support. After wasting time and money, I turned to Hayley Boud at Caring Estates, and I only wish I had done so from the start.
She explained everything clearly, guided me through each step, and was always available to answer my questions. The process was smooth, stress-free, and, in the end, far more cost-effective. If you want to save yourself time, money and frustration, go straight to Caring Estates—you won’t regret it!”

Going through such a stressful time in life is never easy, but with Hayley’s supportive and friendly nature, she really has made the whole process a lot easier to deal with. If you or someone you know needs legal services, then have no hesitation to look further!”

“I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for making the entire reseal process for my Letters of Administration from Australia so easy and stress-free.
After completing six inquiries with different law firms, you were the only one who went out of your way to personally call me from NZ, which I truly appreciated.
Throughout the entire process, you provided clear guidance and kept me informed at every step, making the experience much smoother than I had anticipated. Once again, thank you very much for all your help. Your exceptional service made all the difference!”

“I really recommend Hayley! I worked with her on a different legal matter than a prenup and she made everything so easy. She was down to earth and explained all the lawyer jargon, she always had my best interests in mind, and she was such a calm and supportive presence in what was an unpleasant situation. She made the financial side of things very simple…Hayley made all the paper work easy and she’s my first choice for next time I need legal advice!”

“My family’s journey to resolve our case has been quite challenging. We faced issues such as poor communication, misinformation, and incurring unnecessary expenses which left us feeling quite disheartened & frustrated.

From beginning to end, Hayley demonstrated professionalism, provided clarity about the process, and maintained consistency in her communication throughout. We are incredibly grateful for the support and guidance Hayley has offered us.
I wholeheartedly recommend Hayley; you will not be let down, you will feel supported & will always be kept informed. Thank you once again, Hayley, my family are forever grateful for everything you have done for us”.
