However, according to research carried out a couple of years ago by Moneypenny, the legal industry receives over 26,000 calls, which are answered by the UK’s leading telephone answering specialist on behalf of a range of legal firms, from 19th December to 3rd January. 

 

Bernadette Bennett, Moneypenny’s Legal Commercial Manager, explained in the article on todaysconveyancer.co.uk, that research demonstrates that Wills and Probate enquiries increased on Tuesday 29th December by 23%, compared to an average Tuesday in December. 

 

Likewise, the number of enquiries increased by 49% on Wednesday 30th December, compared to an average Wednesday in December, and 31% compared to an average Thursday. 

 

Bernadette explains that firms presume that the Christmas period will be quieter than other times of the year, however ensuring that measures are put in place to help new enquiries received, and to ensure that people are able to access assistance.
