Very helpful

Debbie Wiseman was always available to answer questions for a very complicated process. All of her answers were reliable and helpful, and helped me and my family complete the formalities of a multi-step, international, bi-lingual estate paperwork process.

PLEASING EXPERIENCEThe information

The information, assistance, and help relayed by Miss Loren Jarvis at the Overseas Department was totally beneficial from start to finish, and especially so due to my elderly state and not having experienced this exercise ever before. Sincerely, she deserves a salary increase. Thank you.

NLV Visa Applications

Our contact person at IWC was Megan. She was more than happy to answer all our questions and concerns in detail and nothing was too much trouble. She always responded promptly and in a friendly manner.

She took care of all the documentation we needed for our NLV applications and even made our appointments at the consulate. All went well as we were fully prepared with everything we needed thanks to Megan.

It took all the stress away from us and we thought the cost of the service was very reasonable considering all the work that is required. We would highly recommend Megan if you’re looking for assistance on obtaining a visa.

First class from start to finish

First class from start to finish - efficient and professional throughout. Steve Pyott dealt with obtaining a reseal of probate in Australia including the subsequent sale of shares; he couldn’t have made it easier.

Debbie Wiseman was superb

Debbie Wiseman was superb. She found the best route to deal with the sale of some shares without needing a medallion guarantee. Peplies and updates were immediate. An excellent service.

Spanish NLV

I have recently applied for my Spanish Non Lucrative Visa through IWC. Megan has been amazingly supportive, she has guided me through all of the steps with patience and professionalism and made me feel at ease with what I could easily have found quite a daunting process. All of my queries have been answered same day and Megan has always made herself available to talk with me on the phone when I needed advice or reassurance. I would absolutely recommend Megan and IWC and would not hesitate to use their service again in future. My thanks also to Juan who assisted me in Megan’s absence with the same professionalism.

Prompt and helpful service from IWC

I was very impressed with the quick and helpful replies I received in response to any questions which I emailed. I felt that my queries were always met with prompt consideration and very informative responses. Very happy with the service provided.

Quick, good value, all done on line and remotely

I first used IWC when I bought a DIY will kit on eBay which was less than £10. Once written , it was stored with them and both me and my executor got a nice card saying my original will was with IWC. I also liked the forms for saying about funeral wishes and detailing your estate.
Fast forward 3 years and I needed to make a new will and find a new executor so I contacted IWC who gave me the options of making a new will and having them as executors as well as storage of the will for a small annual fee. I thought this was both very convenient and quick. As speed was of the essence I really appreciated the quick response from Hannah and the corrections I needed to make to ensure the will would be correct. Having no spouse or children and with a family fall out, I appreciated that IWC could act as executors plus having an account with them means if I need to make a new will idc which is feasible, I have an existing account and making a new will is minimal cost. Plus all this is done on line which is super quick and saves the hassle of having to go to a firm of solicitors.
I now have a new will, lodged with IWC, and peace of mind. Can’t recommend them enough 👍

Exceptional, professional probate service

From start to finish we received fast courteous and professional answers from Debbie to all our queries in the complex request of transferring ownership and selling our late fathers US listed shares from UK to New Zealand. A big advantage of using IWC was having a single point of contact, which made communications so much easier and faster. For the level of service received the value for money was simply outstanding and we wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again for any future probate issues.

Kind ,knowledgeable and professional agents at hand

I had the needed continuity in dealing with one interested person to help me resolve a very unusual complex problem. Debbie offered guidance to me through numerous phone calls spread over several months and never made me feel stupid or incompetent because I had to ask so many questions as to how to solve the legalities. I would definitely recommend this company for the kinds of legal issues they deal with.
