UK Find-a-Will charges

[tillypeg]

One of mine was uploaded but when I looked, it was the usual Probate page but then a letter from them saying that as it was only Administration there was no Will etc.  I contacted them to say that there should be a Will as it was Probate.  I have a snip from a newspaper listing a whole load of bequests so there must be one!  Their reply was apologetic but I am still waiting a week later.  This was ordered on 23 July and was from 1926.

I recently ordered copy Wills from the Borthwick Institute, York - 1754 and 1769.  They charge £13.50 each, so we should all be grateful for this much-reduced price of £1.50.

If I wanted to be really picky, I would point out a spelling mistake on the "expired wills" page...

Your copies will be available for download within 10 working days of submitting your order. These items will be available for viewing for 31 days from the date you first download the copy. Your account will show you when each copy is available until. Once that date has past the item will be removed from your account. Details of the request will remain in your purchase history if you need to reorder for a further fee.

This is what happens...computing doesn't help with grammar if 'spell check' isn't used.

Soon we will be back to days of the past, spelling how it sounds but as long as the doc. is for someone who's passed that's what matters

I have 4 wills ordered 24 July, due 8 Aug that are still outstanding. Is anyone else still waiting for an order placed then (or before)? Or is it time to start chasing?

Thanks,

Martin

Martin, you may have to be patient    I have received my copy wills ordered on 23 July and destined to be delivered 7 August - I actually received them on 16 August and 19 August.  I'm still awaiting delivery of wills ordered on 7 August with an estimated delivery of 22 August.  I think that they have been inundated with requests.

[tellx]

I accept that patience is needed. I'm just wondering how far behind they are. Also, if they have been inundated, (which does seem to be the case), how many orders may have slipped through the net.

I would guess they could be as much as a month behind, Im waiting for 2 due on the 9th August. From other forums it appears the older the will, the longer you have to wait. People who have ordered recent wills have received them.

Still waiting for a couple with the same dates as you ... have queried them and had an apology email just saying they are very busy basically.
