W D S Associates Reviews 

Just had my ID verification with Abim. Very quick and easy. Organised for a time that worked for me.

Quick, professional and clear. Very easy process.

Abim was very helpful in explaining the requirements of the verification process. Taking time to make sure all understood and the actions were completed correctly.

Solicitor was good, helpful and efficient. Being able to verify using WhatsApp for relatives that live further away is great.

Company is very quick in responding to my query.

Abim made signing our papers and easy straight forward experience..explaining all the paper work and next steps putting us at ease

Went to sign a will, very polite & helpful solicitor, Abim, who talked us through everything, the experience was quick & smooth.

As a beneficiary of an estate, I feel compelled to share my experience with WDS Associates Legal Services Ltd. Since the death of my aunt in 2019, we have been waiting for over four years for the estate to be administered. The UK probate court had issued a grant of probate in April 2020, but to this day, I have not received a final account or distribution of the remaining estate.

Your company’s address – WDS Associates Legal Services Ltd – is listed in both the Gazette (21.01.2020) and the Grant of Probate documentation in connection with the estate of my aunt.

In 2023, WDS informed me of an alleged fraud committed by a former employee. However, such an incident has no bearing on the obligation to distribute the estate to the rightful beneficiaries. The way WDS handled this situation has been and is still extremely disappointing and frustrating for me. Public financial records show that WDS continues to operate with a bank balance of nearly £200,000 and net assets of approximately £270,000.

In order to assert my rights, we were forced to hire both a German and a UK-based law firm – a significant effort and additional cost for our family living in Germany. The incomplete and lengthy estate account has also led to serious issues with the German tax authorities, which require a complete inheritance statement.

I wish my aunt had chosen a regulated law firm. As things are now, this is certainly not what she would have wanted.

With this review, I hope to help others make a conscious and informed decision when selecting a service provider for estate administration.

We have sent you an email.

Abim was very helpful and explained everything. Very friendly.

As a son of a beneficiary of an estate, I feel compelled to share our experience with WDS Associates Legal Services Ltd. Since the death of our relative in 2019, we have now been waiting for over four years for the completion of the estate distribution. The UK probate court had already issued a Grant of Probate in April 2020, but to this day, we have not received a complete account or the payout of the remaining inheritance.

In 2023, WDS informed us that there had been a fraud case involving a former employee. However, such an incident has no bearing on the obligation to distribute the estate to the beneficiaries. The way WDS handled this situation has been and continues to be extremely disappointing and frustrating for us. Public financial records show that WDS continues to operate – with a bank balance of nearly £200,000 and net assets of approximately £270,000.

To enforce our rights, we were forced to appoint both a German and an additional UK law firm – a significant effort and additional costs for us as a family living in Germany. The incomplete and lengthy estate accounting has also led to significant issues with the German tax authorities, who are requesting a full inheritance statement from us.

We would have greatly preferred if our relative had appointed a regulated law firm. The way things are currently proceeding, this was certainly not in her interest.

With this review, we hope to help others make a conscious and well-informed decision when choosing a service provider for estate administration.

I have been impressed that WDS respond to my e-mails promptly and efficiently following some queries regarding our wills and Powers of Attorney over the past couple of months.
