Been trying to contact this company to inform them of my mother's death and no answer, just constantly on hold. They offer a call back call, which I asked for but no call back.
Finally after all day trying to get a call, I received one. But only to be told they will send everything that I need to my email, and NO emails received. Whilst dealing with a death, this is NOT what anyone needs.

Taking care of my mother's affairs…

Taking care of my mother's affairs after she passed in March was overwhelming, especially while grieving. I contacted WSL, where her will was stored, and I'm incredibly thankful for that decision. Amberlie was outstanding, leading me through each phase with immense compassion and understanding. Her patience was a tremendous comfort, as I was new to the process and weighed down by emotions. Without her help, I wouldn't have managed. Amberlie also put me in touch with a conveyancer to handle the transfer of the property title, which is now underway. I'm so impressed that I'm thinking about setting up my own will with them. Deep gratitude to WSL, and a special shout-out to Amberlie for her invaluable support.

Dealing with my mother's estate after…

Dealing with my mother's estate after her passing in March was a daunting task, especially amidst the grief. I reached out to WSL, where my mom's will was kept, and I'm so grateful I did. Amberlie was exceptional, guiding me through every step with utmost kindness and understanding. Her patience was a comfort, given my inexperience with such matters and the emotional weight it carried. I truly couldn't have managed without her support. Amberlie even connected me with a conveyancer to transfer my mom's property title, which is now in progress. I'm so impressed I'm considering arranging my own will with them. Heartfelt thanks to WSL, and special appreciation to Amberlie for her invaluable assistance.

Initial interview was good but once they get you on board, their service is terrible
It has taken me 3 months to get my will changed even though I paid for their top service
I chased so may times with no response
I am still waiting for contact back

No Compassion Here

My recent experience with WSL was far from the compassionate and professional service that they purport to deliver. They were hired to write a will involving a trust for minors for an 85 year old widow who was facing a life threatening operation. They managed to get the address wrong on the very first line of the will; they bamboozled the widow into including themselves as co executors and co trustees, which was against the known wishes of the widow; they sent a spare copy of the will to another address, thus potentially exposing the details of the will to a third party; they failed to produce an invoice or a receipt despite being asked to several times; and they made a mistake on the will by indicating that one of the minor beneficiaries was an adult; When the widow understandably asked for a refund, they refused point blank to give her one , but kept the money, which was well over the advertised asking price.

They lost or didn’t receive our sighed

They lost or didn’t receive our sighed, witnessed wills? They failed to inform us of this and when contacted couldn’t provide me with any information about it or resolve the issue. The original Will writer was Zara Liddle and they were very reluctant to let me speak with her? We paid top price for the VIP service and definitely didn’t receive it!

Very worried

Very worried. I need to find a reputable company to update my will. I have read the reviews which seem to have a similar theme running through them i.e. they seem unable to locate the files for the people who have issues. All I need to find out is their address as I need a local solicitor but so far unable to.

Hello Wendy,

Thank you for leaving your review.

We would be very happy to help you update your will. I can’t find you in our system based on the name in your review alone to get in touch directly, so could I ask you reach out to reviews@wsl-ltd.co.uk so that we can help you get this sorted?

Thanks in advance,

Don't trust this company

Ripped me off charging £325 for each LPA I had 2, he came to write out my will and then told me a sob story about what happened to him to persuade me I needed these LPA's, after paying him £650 I still have to pay an extra £82 for each LPA to get them authorized and if I had done this myself that it is all it would have cost £82, Don't trust this company.

Hello Amanda,

Thanks for leaving your review and I am sorry to read of your experience.

Our LPA service is designed to ensure the smooth registration of these important legal documents, including professional drafting, checking and guidance in signing them to reduce any chances of them being rejected by the Office of Public Guardian.

I’m sorry you felt this wasn’t clear and we will work on making it clearer in future.

Thanks again,

We would not recommend this company for…your will or P.O.A. will or P>

We would not recommend this company for your will .and use a local solicitor. They state the cost will be £195 for a mirror will then the fees go up and up to around £1740. We have had so much trouble with them we have asked for a refund to go to a local solicitor. They kept making mistakes with different spellings and have not corrected them

Great service from Chris

I appreciate other's experience here but I have to say my experience with Chris was commendable. Yes I had problems contacting someone many weeks ago. I believe this was due to a merger and change of offices. But the imp thing is how do you make it up to your customers. Chris did that for me today. We had a meeting, he gave me solid advice based on notes from a previous chat, and that deserves acknowledgement. Thank you Chris.

Will was supposed to take 6 weeks to complete. 3 months later still waiting for it. Phone lines are busy, the solicitor with whom we had an initial meeting is taking 2 weeks + to respond to a query. Not worth the hassle. They took £900 upfront, then no contact.

Hello Aga

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, I am disappointed to read about your experience, this is certainly not the standard of excellence we hold ourselves to.

I have requested more information through Trustpilot, as I can’t locate you in the system based on the information I have, but if you would prefer to reach out to reviews@wsl-ltd.co.uk, we can make this right.

Additional costs

Do your research 1st. They do not advise that additional costs are probable. £495 for 'right to reside' for your spouse. £295 to set up a trust fund for under 18's. There are competitive prices out there! If single & leaving estate to other over 18's... this maybe the right place.

Phone this company,after lindridge

Phone this company,after viewing there website , very good-telephone manner, and very professional, went into great detail, and mentioned things , we did not give any thought, had a great knowing regarding how to distribute your wealth, keeping the taxman away, the actual writing of the will,is of a high , legal standard.

Wills made simple

Sevvy was great throughout the process. We arranged our first meeting on a Friday evening to fit in with our working commitments. The process was clear and Sevvy made it very easy to understand and took great care to establish what is important to us. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company for their Will writing services. Thankyou for the peace of mind that you have given us both.

Unsatisfactory

A family member lost their loved one recently. Had nothing but problems with this firm. Time consuming. No continuity. Lost valuable docs which were located after a lengthy time. Were told we were not able to conduct probate ourselves.
Would not recommend at all. Go to a local reputable solicitor.

A very disappointing experience

When we wrote our wills, they were great in sorting them & our LPA’s. When my Husband passed away in July they have made my experience dealing with them so stressful at a time when I needed help & guidance. I wish I had gone through a local firm whose help & response times would have been quicker. When a loved one passes you don’t know what to do. I would have expected a better experience for the money we spent with them.

Amberlie

Amberlie was amazing I lost my mum in March and I had to deal with my late mums estate which is not an easy thing to do when you have lost a loved one.
I contacted WSL who mum had her will with.
They were absolutely brilliant Amberlie was very helpful in everything I needed to get and do.
Amberlie was very patient/polite with me as I've never done this before and it it is so upsetting to do.
I could never had done this on my own I can't thank Amberlie enough for everything she has done.
Amberlie also put me in touch with a conveyancer to help change the name on my mums property to ours.
That's all going through now. I am now looking at doing my Will with them.
Once again thank you so much for everything WSL especially to Amberlie
