UK Find-a-Will charges

[smudwhisk]

Ordered one today after I saw the WDYTYA magazine post on Facebook, estimate delivery date 10 August.  I suspect those arriving quickly have already been scanned following somebody ordering it previously.

Ordered seven wills so far, first Will was available after just four days, really quick service.

Haven't received any yet. One thing I have noticed is that if you use the Probate services page indexes, which you do really need to use as the handwritten folio numbers are not on Ancestry's indexes, is that they are often just jumbled up so you have to trawl through up to 20 pages to find the entry you are looking for. Also the Probate service's indexes often include handwritten reswearing of estate sizes or other notes that are not on Ancestry's version.

If you are searching Probate indexes '1996 to present' .  you can use the advanced search with a christian name instead of trawling the indexes

and if you click on a column header  (name/date of death/registry etc etc)it will sort by that column in order low-high, or click it again to reverse that).

I have ordered 5 so far.  I wouldn't have ordered them if it weren't for the price.

I ordered 20 for £30.00. I received 8 after 2 days and they were very informative.
I know for myself just seeing a signature is well worth £1.50 if not on any other document I have.

Seems the price change has fallen at the first fence. I placed an order on 24 July with an estimated delivery of 8 August. Sadly, I'm still waiting.

Sent a query to them 13 August and finally got a reply yesterday saying there was a delay due to high demand.

Yet again, someone fails or is unable to think the job through fully. Obviously there would be a high demand and that should be taken into account, but as appears to be the norm these days, people who get these jobs don't seem to look at the wider picture.

I wonder how many people would have ordered wills if they had not reduced the price.  I don't think we should be complaining at a possible temporary delay in the system because lots of people have decided to take up the new price and ordered multiple wills.  Family history is all about patience
