How clients rate our Inheritance Service...
Advocate Abroad seeks client feedback to ensure continued high-quality service provision.
I contacted Adam following the death of my father in Hungary. His help was invaluable in dealing with the Hungarian inheritance process.
Adam explained very clearly, the paperwork he would need from me, the forms required to be completed and the time the whole process would take. As i live in the UK, my Hungarian is not up to speed, so the fact that Adam speaks perfect English made the whole situation so much easier than i expected it to be.
Adam was profesional, supportive and patient. Excellent communication keeping me informed and up to speed at each stage. I would like to thank Advocates Abroad for providing such an excellent service. Adam in particular for his help and understanding, he is a real asset to your company. Thank you
