It is our vision that all aspects of Estate Planning; Wills, Trusts, LPAs, and Estate Administration / Probate Services, should be available and accessible for everyone. Many hard-working families are either unaware, or simply do not believe that they have an Estate worth protecting for their loved ones. We believe that it is these members of the public who should benefit most from the services we provide.

All our services are provided in-house, which allows us to provide a ‘one-stop-shop’ in Estate Planning, without outsourcing to any third party. While this ensures that our clients receive the same high standards of service in all areas of their Estate Planning, it also allows us to retain clients for life, and, technically, beyond as well.

Very difficult company to deal with

Very difficult company to deal with. They come across as some major legal company and behave as if they are Solicitors when they are a back street company trying to take your money. They use threats and basically rip people off like their Sister company Simpler Law. Stay well clear. The reviewer reserves their rights to remain anonymous and will continue to do so. The review is about personal experience and I feel I have the democratic right to share my experience on Trust Pilot.

We initially chose not to respond to this review as we could not identify the reviewer as a client of ours and they did not send through further information as to their identity.
As a respected, nationwide legal services company we prefer to address issues which we can recognise from our client records, giving a balanced and professional response.
However, the reviewer has now added another anonymous review regarding our sister company Simpler Law. We completely refute the allegations of threats and ripping people off. We provide transparent pricing and work to strict internal guidelines.
If the reviewer believes they have a genuine issue, we request that they call us on 0333 700 2020 or e-mail enquiries@fidelisls.com referring to this reply.

Stay clear

Stay clear, well clear you have been warned. So far a simple will perfectly done through a solicitor has taken these people 3.5 years and still haven’t sorted anything out, keep saying another week or so…! I asked to leave so I could use another solicitor and refused me.
Quite simple really, the estate to be split 4 ways that is in the will. The estate is basically a normal house and no money in any banks. Sell the house and split the money equally. Job done.
God knows how they sleep at night withholding money from the house sale months ago. Grieving from lost parents doesn’t mean a thing to them it’s put up and shut up.. PLEASE STAY CLEAR
Their reply is fancy words meaning the same thing.
It’s all bull,, I can smell it for here, I hope you can too…!!!

We are concerned and disappointed to have received this negative, ill-informed and somewhat selective review. To ensure client confidentiality we will not go into specific details on a public forum, suffice to say that this case and the estate in question does not involve just a ‘simple Will’. It also involves the administration and distribution of trust assets. In the matter of estate administration, the reviewer confirmed their brother’s authority to deal with us on both their behalf’s. Subsequently, there was a delay in obtaining suitable identification from the reviewer when required. There are many legal obligations to adhere to, including Money Laundering Regulations and complying with the Trustees Act to name but two examples. We are, of course, legally bound to not only follow the clauses in the Will, but also the terms of the trust. This has meant that there are numerous processes which need to be completed before any distribution can take place.
If the reviewer would like to get in touch with us, we will explain, in full, the details of these processes with them again. We are completely satisfied that our handling of this case has been both professional and transparent throughout, and certainly in line with the legal documents being administered. We are, therefore, sadly at a loss as to why the reviewer has chosen to express themselves in this way.

My case handler Deborah was fantastic

My case handler Deborah was fantastic, the service I received from her and the way she kept in contact with me throughout the long process ( due to the probate registry not reviewing my mums case ) was second to none. Deborah chased and pushed for my case to finally be reviewed and the letter of administration to be authorised and processed. As soon as she was given any information she contacted me straight away and kept me informed. Once Deborah received the letter of administration she called me to say she would make sure everything was correct before she sent it via next day delivery.
Thank you so much for your hard work, effort and patience Deborah you are fantastic at what you do.

Got off to a poor start but improved.

I was going to give it 3 stars but changed to 4 as most of our problems were in the first few months as I will explain below.

When we initially made contact following the death of a relative we were not impressed, everything was new to us and we seemed to have got in contact with a trainee, as he picked up the phone on our first call, it seemed he had our case and getting information on what we needed to do as executers of the will and parents of children who were the beneficiaries of the trust. It was all new to us and we did not get any guidance on what was a difficult process made worse by the fact that there was a joint owner of the property who had been missing for 30 years. However after a few months this person left and our new contact was much more helpful, although after that time we were also more aware of the situation ourselves. Our process has just been completed my only comment would be that it always seemed to take 2 days to reply to an email, but then again people are busy so I can understand that. Also the final settlement amount was less than we had thought, not by much but we were told this included finding the joint owner who had been missing for 30 years. As far as we were aware that was done by the investment company who ended up buying the property from us. As I say it was a small amount in the scheme of things so we left it, just thankful that the whole process was now concluded.

During one of the most heartbreaking…

During one of the most heartbreaking and devastating times of my life after the loss of my brother, the last thing your mind is on is completing all the legal processes required. I can not thank all the staff who helped to complete the process in very quick time, particularly Laura Chamberlain,she was incredibly sympathetic, understanding and caring. The emails she sent kept me up to date on the progress of everything but much more than that, enquiring how I was feeling and coping made the world of difference and I could never fully express my gratitude. I would strongly recommend everyone to use the services of this company due, not only to their commitment and excellent service but because of their understanding.

This company is prehistoric

My mum died in July. She trusted Fidelis as a legal service to assist my family through this traumatic time. We first become suspicious because of the huge mistakes in the correspondence about fees. Lack of transparency about there role and the process. Very worrying. Documentation errors. Everything took way too long. Mistakes kept happening Wasted 6 months of our time. Very little done. 
Communication appalling. Had to seek legal advice elsewhere. Asked Fidelis to renounce from my mother’s will. They did this in Nov but it took 3 months to do it. This is not a good service. My family and I have incurred a huge amount of costs, loss time and emotional stress due to this delay. They charged us a massive fee of over £2000 for an appalling service and threatened us with debt collectors. We had to offer half the fee upfront in order to receive the renunciation documentation with urgency. It's shocking how bad the communication and customer service is. I am still in disbelief about there denial. Still waiting for a written response in writing to our complaint. It’s suppose to take 28 days. It’s taken over 90, still waiting… still getting threats of debt collector. We paid the fee... even though we felt the service was extremely poor. Unfortunately for whatever reason this company is extremely poor. It’s not what mum signed up for. It’s border line corrupt. My family and I are reasonable, intelligent human beings. We offered up advice on how to improve their service. We signed up to a new solicitor in Dec.and now have probate 2 months after receiving renouncing documents.. The efficiency, communication and courtesy of the new solicitor is absolutely amazing in comparison. We now have probate. It took a few months. Fees transparent and the process super clear. Fidelis have a lot of improvements to do and a long journey ahead for them. We will be going to the ombudsman. No one else should experience what we went through. No one should get threats of a debt collector especially when their complaints are not being replied to as the Fidelis company policy states. - it’s a very ‘small town’ narrow minded and inexperienced way to treat people.

The response from Fidelis to this review only illustrates this even more.

As longstanding and respected professionals working in the field of probate and estate administration, we are very conscious that losing a parent is a traumatic time. That said we were frustrated and upset to see your negative review so shortly after we responded to your sister, just a few days ago.

We must make it clear that you were never a client of ours. Your mother was our client, and it was your sister who engaged us to manage your mother’s estate administration and probate. As such you would never have received the same level of communication as your sister.

Firstly, we strongly dispute your views regarding our fees and the transparency thereof. Across the sector our fees are at the lower end of the scale and your sister was fully advised of everything clearly to allow her to make a fully informed decision.

We also vehemently disagree with you regarding the level and quality of communication we provided. This is illustrated by your comment referring to the amount of work completed. The fees incurred in this case married up with those estimated at the start of the process, and accurately reflect the amount of work we completed (plus disbursements) and payments we had already made on your behalf, before we were asked to stop.

It is normal, across the industry, for all fees to be paid in full prior to documentation being sent on to a third party. On this occasion we offered you the option of paying only 50% up front and the remaining 50% once your new solicitor was in receipt of the documentation. Once the paperwork was passed on you broke this agreement and instructed your solicitor not to make the second payment.

At the point we received instruction on this case there were highly publicised delays at the Probate Office, something we made your sister very aware of, and we spent a great deal of time chasing up your grant with the authorities. We also completed numerous other pieces of documentation required for estate administration, so that your new solicitor had considerably less to do when they received the files.

Any business who has been refused payment of an invoice is well within their rights, on intransigence from the debtor to call in a debt collection agency. We dislike taking this action and felt cornered into it by your family’s actions. We had done the work requested of us and your family had not paid us for it.

To clarify your sister’s experience with our complaints procedure, we need to be clear that the written complaint came from you, and not our client. We are duty bound to only respond to our clients. As you can imagine there are cases where siblings do not get along, and in some cases are not even in contact with each other. We simply cannot send replies to those not involved in the case. On this occasion we explained everything verbally to your sister instead. Our commitment to reply to a complaint within 28 days is for existing clients. Firstly, you were never a client, and secondly, after we revoked our position, at your sister’s request, neither of you were clients. Having already explained everything clearly to your sister there was then no requirement to spend time making a written response.

Your review underlines why it is so important for many to engage legal help when applying for a grant of probate and undertaking other estate administration. Your misunderstanding and misapprehensions about the processes involved, the work we completed, and the timescales involved illustrate this clearly. Although two months overdue, we thank you for finally clearing your account with us.
