Investing with inheritance

Mostly a question on behalf of the girlfriend.

She's coming into some money (sale of her mothers house) and is looking for advice.

She's a bit old school when it comes to getting advice. What I'm hoping to avoid is her getting advice from a so called 'independent' financial advisor who's actually linked to one of the banks and will sell a product rather than getting advice.

So are there actually reputable independent advisors out there?

Or can you recommend somewhere else to get advice?
