"Caring", what a joke

Disgusting lying firm. "Caring", what a joke. Happily let my mum's partner change her will, over a year after she was diagnosed with Alzeimer's. No medical, no golden rule, just some cash
Then they lie about needing a solicitor, to see her will, to 'an exectutor!' You couldn't make it up.

Brilliant and professional service.

We've used Heritage for some years now, John at our local St.Ives, and Lucy M at the main branch.
Heritage helped us through Will writing, Power of Attorney and Probate.
John was absolutely brilliant, and when the sad time arrived it was Lucy M and her team who guided us through our time of heartache.
What brilliant people! They took all the pain and sadness away and took care of everything. Caring and efficient, helpful and understanding, they were simply the BEST!
We use them exclusively now.
Don't go cheap; get the best advice, service and results from these professionals and do the job right, and get it done!

Excellent service, highly recommended

I recently engaged Heritage Wills to assist with preparation of new Wills for me and my wife, including provisions for property life interest and discretionary trusts. They also assisted with severance of tenancy documents as part of our estate planning requirements. We were very pleased with their service from start to finish and special thanks to Kevin for his clear explanations of our options and the process to be followed. All of our documents were produced promptly and accurately. Overall we were very satisfied with the service provided and would definitely recommend them for your estate planning.

Not good service

After the sad loss of my mother contacted Heritage wills about her will which they had in storage they were in no hurry to assist us and had to wait more than a day for a reply from their bereavement team We were then sent a long list of documents we needed to release the will Following on from this booked an appointment to finally be able to collect my mothers will on arrival I was ushered into a room left alone and the door was closed behind me Following a 30 minute wait I exited the room to ask had I been forgotten and yes unfortunately I had During such a stressful time this really is not very good service though the lady when she was informed and did eventually arrive was apologetic

Handling the changes to my will was done in a very professional way.
However the wrong information that was giving to us about the government not being allowed to charge us if we needed to go into care, has left us being very annoyed and are no longer able to trust them.

After speaking to Heritage Wills today, I am glad to say that the problems we had have been sorted to both our satisfaction. I always feel that you can judge a companys worth by the way it handles a complaint.
I am more than pleased with how my problem was handled. I shall continue to use Heritage Wills in the future.

Heritage Wills did infact offer a good will gesture. It was more of an insult than a good will gesture. For years we had been under the illusion that we would be safe and we had sung your praises to several people. We still feel that you had let us down. You must have been aware for a long time that what you advised us to do no longer effective.

We are available anytime before the 17th of September.
Please call me on 077 1783 7879

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad the changes to your will were handled professionally.

We’re sorry to hear of your concerns regarding other advice received. While we’re not certain what was discussed, we did acknowledge your frustration and offered a goodwill gesture.

We fully appreciate the importance of clear, accurate guidance and remain committed to ensuring our team is well-trained and up to date with all relevant regulations.

It was never our intention for the goodwill gesture to come across as anything but sincere. We’d be more than happy to discuss this further if you wish—please feel free to email me at kmountain@heritagewills.co.uk to arrange a convenient time.
