Retirement Notice

Archdeacon Russell & Co

Having practised in Buckingham as a Sole Practitioner for over 45 years, the time has come for me to retire.

My practice has now closed as of 20 January 2026.

What This Means for You

Wills and Estates

If I am holding your Will, I have arrangements with a firm called Right Legal Group who will get in touch with you and hold your Will for you, without charge.

If I am an Executor of your Will, I can continue in that capacity or I will renounce my appointment, if asked.

If I am acting for you at the moment on an Estate, Right Legal Group, as mentioned to you personally via email, have taken over the file and will be in touch with you.

Outstanding Matters at the Land Registry

Following completion of your transaction I am waiting for the Land Registry to conclude its registration. The legal profession is experiencing long delays at the Registry, Frank & Co have received your file and will conclude matters, confirm with you that all is done and will retain your file.

Current Instructions

If I am acting for you at the moment and it seems unlikely the matter will complete by the time I retire then it is in your interest that I pass my file to another firm to conclude your instructions as quickly as possible.

Frank & Co have the expertise and capacity to look after you and, as mentioned to you personally via email, unless we have received different instructions from you, your file has been sent to them along with any money on account.

It has been my absolute privilege to offer legal services to our clients in Buckingham and surrounding and the wider area over the past 45 years and my staff join me in thanking you all.
