Fraser and Fraser tracked us down…

Fraser and Fraser tracked us down regarding the estate of a late relative. The process for us personally was quite complex but Fraser and Fraser were really supportive, answering all of our queries and guiding us smoothly through this journey. The addition of supplying a family tree was pleasing.

Tracked me down

Tracked me down, as an unknown cousin had passed away intestate and the process, which does take quite a time, is coming to the end. Also I have learned quite a bit about part of the family I knew nothing about. Gareth Langford my case manager has always been professional and has answered any questions I had.

Fraser and Fraser reached out to my family after one of our relatives passed. Our case manager has been very responsive when I emailed them and has kept us in the loop regarding what is happening with the estate. I'm excited to see what the outcome is.

Joining the dots

I contacted the company and was interested to find out about relatives I had never met. I had thought my mother had mentioned this name a very long time ago. Nice to join the dots

Fraser and Fraser made us aware of the passing of a relative that we were not aware of and kept us updated professionally throughout the process.

We even discovered more about our family as part of the family tree process.

I was contacted by Fraser and Fraser…

I was contacted by Fraser and Fraser after an Uncle had passed away who I had lost contact with. It hadn’t taken them long to trace myself since he had passed away, to the point my Uncle’s funeral hadn’t taken place, sadly we weren’t informed of this so he had a funeral without any family. We are coming up to two years since first contact and have been kept up to date through each process, hopefully we are now coming to the end and things will be finalised. I find it a bit unusual to ask for a review before everything is sorted and feel I’m “held to ransom” if a review is not done then I won’t get a Full Family Tree even though it is stated in the brochure I received upon first contact.

Dear Enid,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us.

We understand your concerns regarding the timing of the review request, especially before receiving the full family tree is finalised.

However, we wanted to stress that you have already recevied a family tree containing all the information. The additional "full family tree" you mentioned serves as a more elaborate and formal presentation of the same information.

We thank you again for your review, your feedback is valuable, allowing us to improve our services and ensure future families have positive experiences.

Sincerely,

Fraser and Fraser

Good Service from Fraser & Fraser

Fraser & Fraser contacted me in late March 2023 with the news of my deceased & (up until now) unknown relative. They have conducted the administration of the estate in a terse, respectful tone & professional manner, helpful & polite via letters & phone. However, disappointed at the failure to update with new information on the online "client zone" & the request for a review with the promise of a Family tree could be interpreted as an "incentive". I was led to believe (through the literature supplied by Fraser & Fraser) that a family tree would be provided as part of the agreed package & not only after a review had been provided by the client.
Nevertheless, mostly pleased with the quality of service. It has taken about a year to process the case & it's now very near completion. Looking forward to receiving my family tree & grateful for the money. R.I.P.Christopher.

Dear Steve,

Thank you fortkaing the time to leave your feedback on your experience with Fraser and Fraser. We appreciate your kind words regarding the respectful and professional manner in which we handled your case.

We understand your disappointment in regards to the lack of updates on the client zone and the mention of a family tree as an incentive for a review. We want to clarify that there is absolutely no incentive for a leaving a review, and we apologise if the wording was misinterpreted.

The family tree you already received with all case information is indeed part of the standard agreed package. Additionally, we offer a more substanial family tree, presented as an hourglass family tree but provides the same information as the one you have already recieved.

We regret the client zone is not fully functional. We are actively working on improvements for the site. In the meantime, our case managers remain available to provide regular updated via email or phone throughout the process.

Thank you again for your feedback. We value your opinion and are committed to providing the best possible service to our clients.

Professional and courteous

They have kept me informed throughout the process. When I called to ask a question and the person I wanted to speak to was not available, someone took note of my details and I received a phone call as soon as they were available.

Very professional and courteous. Would definitely recommend them.

A first class professional company

From having an initial phone call to receiving a substantial cheque Frazer & Frazer have been nothing but first class. In particular praise should be given to our case manager Andy Loakes for his excellent work, professional manner and kindness all the way though the long process. Without Frazer & Frazer, I and my siblings would have been none the wiser of the death of our distant half uncle we never knew or his estate. This process has been literally life changing for my family

It was an amazing surprise to be informed out of the blue about an inheritance from a deceased cousin of whom I’d no knowledge whatsoever.

After contacting me about a distant relative I did not know about who had sadly passed away, Fraser and Fraser have been very helpful in explaining how the process works and how long we could expect to wait for an outcome. It had been very interesting learning about our big family tree!

Professional service, good communication.

Contacted out of the blue, re distant relative and possible inheritance. Although took time, not helped by Covid. There was minimal effort required from me. Ben Cornish was professional case manager, with right level of communication throughout the process, neither feeling bombarded or ignored. Any queries answered promptly and courteously. Thank you.

Fraser & Fraser. Bringing the past to present day

Fraser & Fraser... what you get is what you see on the TV. From the initial surprise letter, to being signed up and kept informed of how things are progressing . They guide you through the process, and offer a insight into unknown relatives, showing a family tree and history in addition to any inheritance that may be forthcoming.

I would like to thank Fraser and Fraser…can not recommend them enough

I would like to thank Fraser and Fraser for all they have done to keep us informed about timescales and managing expectations regarding a distant relatives estate and its distribution. They kept us informed as to how much the total estate was worth, how long it would take to distribute and how many inheritors there were likely to be. They provided a family tree and even sent us family photos collected from our relatives home. They have been quick to reply to any and all correspondence. I could not recommend them enough.
