Probate application still not in after nearly two years

This firm do not even deserve one star. The service has been absolutely appalling and prospective clients should go elsewhere. Right Legal were instructed in June 2022 to process my mother's straightforward probate application. We have speedily provided all information requested to keep things moving. For no good reason, the development of the probate application has proceeded at slower than snail's pace. We have politely waited weeks sometimes months for updates and these have only been provided after several emails from us. The firm has upheld two formal complaints from me about slow service and poor communication. Finally the papers came through to sign in November 2023 and the firm verified that they had been received back by them and would be sent on. Unbelievably my sister found out yesterday (April 2024) that the application has still not been submitted!!!

Really poor service and quality of work.

The service is shockingly poor. From start to finish it was clear that documents are not checked and there is no qualified solicitor checking the work. The individual looking after our account sent out a letter with their own name spelled wrong. Multiple loops of corrections for basic errors and errors which already asked to correct. Finally thought we were at the end of the process when we received our wills but yet again sent the wrong versions. When I emailed and rang up to complain no one returned the call.

Avoid unless you want a costly drawn out probate

If I could give Rights zero stars it would be too many. This company took over 2.5 years to do a straight forward probate. We had three different legal advisors. Documents were lost, they were incorrect and try getting them to answer or return your telephone calls - impossible!
Simpsons solicitors added themselves as an executor when updating my dads Will - he had onset dementia and they told him it would be for the best and then told us we needed to use Rights for the Probate. What this resulted in was a costly and extremely drawn out Probate that was handled poorly by Rights. This firm has put our family in great financial and emotional stress. We even reported them to the Legal Ombudsman and won but it still didnt make anything happen any quicker.
Now we are battling with their Document Management Team to get the return of our property docs - its been 4 months so far and they cant even do a simple thing like that correctly.

People giving 5* reviews for the Will service - check it and make sure they havent added themselves in as an executor and if so get it changed immediately and save the sanity of your family.

Will review

I had the pleasure of a visit from the lovely Jessica this morning from the Derby office. She was very friendly and chatty and completely put me at ease. She answered my questions and explained everything to me clearly so I could understand.
This young lady is going to be a huge asset to your company and if I need legal advice in the future I shall be employing Jessica and recommending her to family and friends.

DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT

Took 10 weeks to obtain title deeds for my Mums house. First they sent me the wrong form, nobody bothered to tell me until I called them 3 weeks later. Sent in the documents, again nobody bothered to call me. After 2 weeks I rang them (good luck getting through) and on the 8th attempt was told I still needed more documentation which I wasn't told initially, or in the other conversions I had with them. Sent in the required documents and again, nobody called me or acknowledged my email. Rang them 13 times and eventually was told my deeds were there. Arranged to pick them up and the day I went to get them the girl was off sick!! I did get them the same day as I refused to leave without them. Utterly shambolic service from start to finish! Lack of communication and understanding.

Excellent service

Our wills were held in a solicitor’s close to where we live, the company went into liquidation and was taken over by Simpsons. Their nearest office was 1.5 hours away in Derby. When we needed to make changes to our wills and have power of attorney drawn up we had a home visit from Jessica. She was very knowledgeable, nothing was too much trouble she took her time talking us through our options and made sure we understood everything. Would thoroughly recommend this company and Jessica if you are in the Derby area!

When a friend died unexpectedly my wife and I were panic stricken as we were executors of her will - and had little idea what we needed to do. This was more worrying as the other executor was in Australasia.

We had an advisory meeting with Darcy Blaney and she was more than a little helpful and provided us with loads of information.

Eventually we decided to go to another practice. This was largely due to our friends estate being fairly large and somewhat complicated. We therefore wanted a handy local based solicitor, and Darcy was largely based in the Midlands.

Getting the original will returned was, pleasingly, fairly hassle free and quicker than expected.

So not too much to comment upon, but the initial meeting did prove to be very helpful and reassuring. In post COVID days, all services do seem to have deteriorated. However, my dealings were, in general, competently handled.

Avoid if you’re able, we were unfortunately not in a position to do so as they held a will transferred from another law firm. Atrocious service, communication and failure to follow their own procedures. At a difficult personal time for our family due to bereavement they failed us.

Multiple ignored emails after they had requested my personal details. If too busy to provide a service why bother wasting my time requesting my details??

I found the staff dealing with my late mother’s probate case very professional and helpful. They kept me updated on progress and were responsive when I needed to check progress. My main contact was Olivia Haleem

I had a great experience with Simpsons. They helped me sell my late fathers house with no fuss and at a very competitive price for their services.
