Impressive and Efficient Professional Advice and Assistance
I am very delighted with the services that IWM has provided. With special thanks to Debbie Wiseman for her very prompt and thorough responses and assistance, I could complete and submit my documents that required medallion guarantee services within a very short period of time. I got my re-registration of personal particulars with Broadridge in US within a few weeks.
IWC probate service
We used IWC for Probate and Sharon our case handler was amazing from start to finish. Found her to be proactive, informative and super responsive even going above and beyond by replying outside normal work hours meaning you was always up-to date.
All round would recommend IWC services and especially Sharon.
Thanks for all the help and advice.

Probate
The company was recommended to me after my father passed away and they dealt with the probate for him and then latterly with my mother, I have had the very positive experience with Sharon Edwards who has been nothing but patient, explanatory and communicative with all areas of the law that I knew nothing about relating to probate, my bother and I cannot thank her enough for supporting both of us through this minefield of information though a very difficult time, I would highly recommend this company and Sharon especially.

A very professional and satifactory experience from

A special thanks to m/s Hannan Domain at the Braintree Office who handled my enquiry from start to finish. No hesitation in recomending this service to others
Rewriting my Will Experience
When requiring to rewrite my Will I telephoned three Companies/Solicitors in a local magazine enquiring about their fees etc. IWC was the only firm which contacted me with tips to assist the process. I appreciated this.
A visit was made to my home which was convenient . I had made note of required information on names addresses etc. I paid on this occasion for the Will Writing service. A short while after this visit
I was first sent a Draft Will to my e-mail address with details of the security number I should use to access the information. I requested amendments on several occasions mostly to expand on the text in the Draft.
These amendments were all dealt with expeditiously, I received the completed Will and all instructions as to how I should sign and my Witnesses should sign. I understand that my Executors will be contacted and given helpful information on their role as Executors and assistance on Probate. A good job well done,.
The requested service was Medallion…
The requested service was Medallion Guarantee Stamps that are required for a share transfer in the USA. The receiving fund company, Computershare, rejected the provided stamp, because the value of the shares exceeded the value of the stamp.
While the handling IWC agent exhibited very responsive and friendly service throughout the process and also offered a workaround solution, I would expect a company specializing in this type of service to be well informed and ensure the issuance of a stamp in the appropriate amount. The workaround solution will result in a considerable amount of additional effort on my part and a delay in the completion of the transaction.

The service was fantastic
The service was fantastic. At every stage we were kept updated. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. The lady that dealt with my father's probate case (Lucy) was on top of the process and kept us informed at all stages.
Tried to remove my reviews
This is my fourth review and all are legitimate complaints. The company have failed to respond to my experience and instead have actually tried to have my reviews removed by Trustpilot. I have been entirely truthful about my own experiences. This is very upsetting that they feel they can abuse the system in place for people to make informed decisions about the companies they use!
SEE COMMENTS BELOW! ALSO ON OTHER REVIEWS, CLEARLY I’M A CUSTOMER. I’VE TOLD NO LIES! MORE THREATS AND BULLYING TACTICS!!!

Great team to have on our side.

Believe all the 5* reviews
I needed a Medallion Signature Guarantee for some US shares I wanted to sell, which were in my maiden name. I spent a considerable time Googling and researching how to do this, getting more bamboozled and confused in the process. When I found IWC Probate Services online, they were miles from where I lived and I had never heard of them. I was very nervous, but I needn't have been. I read all their amazing reviews and decided to make an initial enquiry. I received a same-day response from Loren Jarvis, who has been nothing short of phenomenal. I chose to go with IWC's Medallion Signature Guarantee full service, not just a request for them to provide a stamp. One of my ID documents needed certifying by a solicitor and IWC even contacted them, to double-check the legitimacy of the certified documents. As soon as I made the online payment to IWC, ahead of submitting all my paperwork, Loren immediately confirmed receipt of the funds. Loren's efficiency, customer service, professionalism and industry knowledge has been invaluable. If you are reading this, unsure as to whether or not to use IWC Probate Services, then believe all their 5* reviews and believe me when I say I cannot rate them highly enough. I could not have done this without Loren/IWC and I am so, so pleased I chose to go with their full service. It has been worth every penny.
