Has anyone had any dealings with http://www.allguardwills.co.uk/

It's almost a year since the passing of a relative and these people seem to be ignoring emails and basically stopped communicating , we was in the belief everything would be completed by the end of December 2010 , we are getting a little suspicious now .

Where do you go to complain about people like this ?

Thanks in advance

They're just off the rainford bypass in the village by the look of it. they don't seem to be a firm of solicitors though, not in the traditional sense anyway.
They have a company address here:

have you tried this number? it;'s a st helens area code not an 0845

Are they acting as the executors? If so, I recall that they do have 12 months to finalise the accounts. Has it been more than 12 months?
Anyway, a phone call is the best bet. But of course they may not be able to tell you anything because of confidentiality reasons

No they are not executors , its my mother in law who is the executor , it will be 12 months in June i think but they are ignoring emails now and trying to get them on the phone never proves easy.
does you mil have copy of will. Who applied for probate?
Question Author
Yes she has a copy of the will and she applied for probate , allguard are dealing with everything for her for a fee ... it seems they are sitting on it and weeks and months go by and we hear nothing , its bang out of order , just wandering where to go with this or who to complain to ?
Has she paid anything yet? If not I would give them a time limit to finalise things and if they don`t finalise by a certain date, state that you want all documents etc returned. It`s possible to do probate yourself. You have to make an appointment at a probate court and it certainly doesn`t take months to get an appointment. My sister had her husband`s probate done and dusted herself in a few months. We used a solicitor for my dad`s probate and he dragged his heels a bit. I think he was waiting until he had several cases to take to probate court so that he could do them all together to save money. Maybe that`s what allguardwills are doing.
Question Author
Shes not paid anything yet , she sent the oaths back to probate 6 weeks ago which should be the last thing to do , allguard said they should receive the oaths back within 2 weeks and that should be it.
Its already taken about 10 months , i know you can do it yourself but just haven't got the time.
The most annoying thing is their appalling communication , leaving us not knowing why its taking so long.
