Fantastic company
Fantastic company. Communication was brilliant and they did all that was required and when. I cannot fault the way in which they guided us through such a delicate time. Thank you
First time making a will made easy with IWC.
I didn't know where to begin writing a will and I had lots of questions but IWC helped me through the process. They were very helpful and I would definitely recommend them to help you.

Their reply confirms my problem. Beaware ###

Great and helpful support and guidance throughout the complex process. Perfect accessibility and quick responses. Very friendly and engaging communication.
Left with huge debt
I enlisted the help of the IWC probate services in 2015. A year later, I received a letter from HMRC stating over 6k was owed after the probate process was conducted on my behalf by IWC.
I contacted IWC regarding this matter and I was told to ignore this request for payment as it was most likely a administrative error by HMRC. The second correspondence from HMRC after 6 months, I was told by my representative of IWC that an email or letter will be sent to HMRC to settle this matter of payment
Eight/8 years later there has been no definitive resolution and now being told by IWC as far as they are concerned this case is now closed despite huge amounts of money being owed and is becoming more and more difficult to contact my representative of IWC and now over 16k is owed. Potential Clients Please take note and extreme caution.

Transferring and selling shares in America
I was at a loss as to how to transfer and sell my late father's shares in a company based in America. I needed to be able to talk to someone, ask questions frequently and receive guidance. IWC answered the phone and emails quickly. They provided relevant information, explained the possible options and led me through the necessary processes to achieve my goal. They were always pleasant and efficient. I am so grateful that what seemed impossible to me has now been accomplished, causing me very little stress. Thank you.

Inheritance - Australian Holdings & ReSealing.
Having spent several months trying to deal with Shares in an Australian Company as part of a Will, finding IWC and Debbie was a breath of fresh air. All my questions were answered, no matter how stilly they sounded, and a process that seemed unfeasible was suddenly underway and within 3 months resolved. A shorter period than it took Computershare Australia to give me a straight answer. Can't recommend and thank them enough.
