Long delay on Wills

[kerryb]

Hi ringrose

Mine took about 4 weeks.  I guess they are getting a lot of orders now that ancestry have the probate calendar.  They are probably flooded with orders!

When I queried a delay I was told to allow at least 21 "working days" from receipt of the cheque.  I guess the online access to the calendar has increased the demand.

The Principal Registry at Holborn are also quoting 21 days and are not accepting orders at the counter on the one hour service unless you are a regular customer.

Mine arrived yesterday, approximately 7 weeks after posting the application.  Yes it was a long wait but worth it

jo, do you know the date you ordered yours? I ordered mine on August 28 and have not received it yet!

Maybe mine is going to be done soon? *hopes*

Hi Matt,
I ordered mine on the 22nd August and they arrived on Thursday 7th October. They were sent from Norwich. I'm sure yours will be arriving soon.

Around the 10th Sept I sent for 2 wills. The £10 cheque was cashed on 23rd Sept. As no wills have arrived I rang the York Probate Office and a recorded message lets you know they are dealing with  wills reqests 27th August and anyone who has a cheque cashed before that date to ring ---a number is given. At this rate I will be lucky if I get anything in the next few weeks yet the cheque has gone through.

I had just the same problem back in June. Cheque cashed promptly. No wills by September. Phoned the number they gave and had to repeat the details of my required wills and the date that the cheque was cashed.
They arrived within a few days. So it was worth phoning them.
Good luck Ringrose,

Hi,

I sent for some Wills before details were available on line, queried a delay and was told to allow at least "21 working days" from receipt of cheque.
